That’s okay, we drove by Pizza Hut and Jack started yelling “Pizza!” and he’s never even been there.

I’ve also got a little girl who calls it Old McDonalds. It’s so cute that *I* even call it that now.

Our kids have called it “Old McDonald’s” from the get-go. Like you, it’s too darn cute to correct them. They’ll figure it out soon enough.

“It kind of implies a more sinister side of the goal of Old McDonald having a farm, does it not?

Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo *BANG*…hamburger
With an oink oink here, and an oink oink *BANG*…bacon
Here a quack, there a quack *BANG*…bird-flavored nugget

Old McDonald was a heartless killing machine, E I E I O.”

Snort….

Caity can spot the happy arches from MILES away..McDONYALDS???? We hear with a questioning tone at the end..ever hopeful and she doesn’t even eat the food..she just wants POP!!!

The best Ayden can manage is Monalds. The ack sounds are still a struggle for him. To add insult to injury…. There is a Burger King aka Booger Ing and a Monalds on the roundabout that we must use to enter and exit our road to get home. Some stupid person aka ME….. didn’t put much thought into that situation before we moved here.

Now we have to deal with Bowen and Ayden having screaming matches about
A) how you say the words … MONALDS … no MACK DONALDS.. MONALDS… etc etc yadda yadda yadda
B) which one they actually want
C) how loud they have to get before we either throw them from the moving car or cave in and go buy yet another stupid happy meal. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr LOL

Ayden spooks me out. He can be deas asleep snoring his brains out and if we drive past a Mc (brainwashed children in the womb) Donalds…. HE WAKES UP! Freak.

It’s been “Old McDonald had a farm food” in our house (actually in our car, since the only time we go is on a road trip). It was shortened to Uncle Donald – who was always a clown.

Dawson is the same way. He’s a McDonald’s freak. I blame Grandma. She’s always taking him there, “for the toy” she claims.

Right. I suffer the consequences every day he demands a Happy Meal.

I compensate by making him eat an apple when we get home.

At least they don’t pronounce it like the Peruvian nanny:
Mack Dough-nah! Mack Dough-nah!

I have been known to make up people to celebrate birthdays for when my kids and I want some cake, so I totally understand. That is adorable that they call it Old McDonalds!
