See-Eye-Aye


Happy Fatherhood Friday. When you're finished perusing my site, be sure to go spy on the other great bloggers at dad-blogs.com.

So recently, Mom-E and I joined the local Family Y



It makes me feel old, but when I was growing up, I knew the Family Y as the YMCA.

And so when I talk about the Y, I still sometimes refer to it as the YMCA.

The funny part is that Little Brother can't say YMCA. He refers to it as the See-Eye-Aye (who knew the Y was also performed intelligence ops), which we can't help but find amusing.

When Mom-E goes to workout at the Y, Little Brother goes to one of the childcare rooms.

And when Mom-E picks him up, we can't help but laugh when he describes all of the things he did at the See-Eye-Aye.

"I played with toys at the See-Eye-Aye." (Maybe some cool new spy-gadgets?)

"They don't have snacks at the See-Eye-Aye." (Apparently he was on a stakeout?)

And my personal favorite:
"I went poo-poo at the See-Eye-Aye. They wiped my butt." (Intelligence redefined.)

To boot, the See-Eye-Aye informed Mom-E that Little Brother has a "very good vocabulary."

This is funny, because Mom-E takes him to the 3-5 year-old room because they have better toys even though he's not quite 3.

Would they be even more impressed with his vocabulary if we told them he's not even 3 yet (or just kick him out of the room)? But you'd think that the See-Eye-Aye would've already figured that out?

Have a good weekend,
Busy-Dad-E

  1. It's fun to stay at the See-Eye-Aye, They've got everything... They would maybe have to drop the cowboy to make it work - but it's worth a go

  2. nice. i, too, can't say "the y." i'm a YMCA guy, which, regrettably, conjures up disturbing images of that indian guy and the cop. oh, and the construction worker.

  7. Just wait til they get a bit older...elementary schools seem to all have "YMCA" in their peppy-song list. Any time we say "the Y" instead of "the gym" we are given a chorus from at least one child.
