Our Parrot

Though T has TONS of independent vocabulary, she's always scripted certain things that stick in her memory.  A frequent favorite is anything to do with Clorox.  Don't ask me why, but she can work a Clorox commercial into pretty much any situation.  She's also fond of working herself into Disney episodes she's heard and/or creating her own promo, or putting herself into a movie theme and presenting it to unsuspecting people as something that's happening in her own life.  Thank goodness I know what she watches because the kid is more than a little believable when she does this.  After she saw the Hannah Montana finale she had her OT convinced we had to move out of our house and that we were all very sad, but we couldn't stay here.  So it really should've come as no surprise that she's started imitating things she randomly hears in passing from other people.  The other night we went out to dinner.  We were looking over the menus when our waitress came up to the table and asked if she could get our drinks.  Without missing a beat, T said, "I think we're just gonna' go hang out at the bar."  Now I do have to be proud of the fact that she was actually looking at the waitress when she said this.....you know, instead of looking at the ceiling or something.  The waitress either didn't hear her, or pretended that she didn't, so we moved right on into ordering drinks.  After she left I asked T why she said that.  Of course, no answer.  The husband, J, did hear where that came from, though.  Apparently as we were walking in, that exact interaction was happening between another guest and the hostess.  This skill is either gonna' get us in serious trouble or seriously work to our benefit.
