I had the kids out tonight on bikes, and Eliana was on her scooter.  At one point she paused beneath some trees and looked with big eyes across the street.  She could hear the cicadas up above and I said,"What is that?"  They kind of freak her out.  She pointed up, and I said,"No, what are they called?" 

She looked back at me and said,"Satuhpotatoes."

I almost wet my pants.  What makes this even funnier is that would be how she said "sack of potatoes", if she said such a thing.

Then she looked at me and said,"What is it?"

So I told her,"Cicadas."  She nodded at me with a grin as if to say,"Yes, yes, that's right."  I love that girl.
