Why you little!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2010.10.25

Being a careful father, I'm raising our boy on a steady diet of The Simpsons.

Kenny loves it. It occurred to me to try the trick where Homer grabs his son Bart around the throat with an angry yell of, "Why you little!" and throttles him.

I carefully got my hands around Kenny's little neck and said, "Why you little." He responded immediately by sticking his tongue out the way Bart does. I've since taught him to make Bart's choking "acch! acch!" sounds.

Heh heh heh.
