Toddler Dictionary - In the Zone

In the Zone - When you have been driving in the car for a few miles and then realize ...

... that there are no kids in the car and you have been listening to a children's CD.

or, In the Zone - When you are having a discussion about how to get dried candle wax off of your building's new carpet and a co-worker walks up and says

"I just read how to do it on the internet, you take a hot iron and a brown paper bag and put the bag on the wax and the iron on top of the paper bag and it heats the wax and the paper bag absorbs the wax."

and your first thought (This really happened to me, yesterday) is ...


... "I Don't know, that sounds an awful lot like the Cat In The Hat and the pink stain."

"To get wax off a carpet is easy" said The Cat,

A hot iron and brown paper bag will do that.

So with the bag on the ground the Cat ironed with his paws,

The wax came off of the carpet, but wound up on the Walls.

I have been "In the Zone" so many times it is scary! Most recently with our new Backyardigins CD. Please TiVo this show if you haven't already and be prepared to sing "Into the Thick of It" or "Trudge Trudge Trudge" - almost as catchy as Hi-5 tunes.
