"Gak!"

It's said that children are little sponges, and they are always listening....
a lesson that Mama and Papa have had to come to terms with lately.

Case in point - Owen's newest "word" is - gak.
He uses it as an expletive... for instance:

Papa:  "I'm gonna tickle you....!"
Owen:  "Gak!"

Mama:  "You have jam all over your shirt...."
Owen: "Gak!"

Mama: "Owen! Come here right now!"
Papa:  "Owen! Listen to your mother!"
Owen: "GAK!"

We weren't really sure where it came from, until the other day...

Mama was making dinner, something was boiling over on the stove, her phone was ringing,
Owen was screaming....
Mama:  "GAK!"
