Growing up during the 70-80's you inevitably were subjected to daily doses, or at the very least portions of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. There, in the little land of make believe, are some rather interesting characters, among them is the all important King Friday, "I presume" and my all time favorite ridiculousness, Henrietta Pussy Cat, "Meow Meow, I like you, Meow Meow".
I had, for what ever reason, slipped some of these voices, and oh so quotable quotes, into random family conversations. My kids finally asked where in the world I came up with that, and I had to tell them that I was not the master mind behind this silly speech- so in this the great day of You-Tube I let them in on my little secret and showed them some vintage Mr. Rogers.
Now they are all talking like that, "Can I, meow meow, have some breakfast, meow meow?", "I presume"! It nearly slays me when Eli says "I presume"- he sounds very much like our good old friend King Friday! Today I think that I shall introduce them to Mr Ed!

I love it, that was one of my favorite shows growing up. I have been horrible at keeping up with family blogs, but I had a peek around yours and it looks like you have been having a great summer. One day, when the kids are a lot older, we will travel with them to visit all their cousins in the great land of Missouri. Take care Linda, Joe and kids!
