The baby dunk
Baby dunk = baby skunk (in Luke's language). Over the 4th of July we stayed at a house at Breezy Point with the entire Dold family. While roaming around the yard we discovered a baby skunk stuck in the window well. The maintenance guy from Breezy put a 2x4 in the window well, as a ramp, along with some moth balls (which skunks don't like). Eventually the baby skunk crawled out (but not before spraying)! When we came home from the beach to find the skunk gone, Luke wanted to know where it had gone. I'm not sure if it was Grandma Marcy, uncle Jon, or maybe auntie Shari, but someone told Luke that it had to go home to see it's Momma, that the skunk missed his Momma. So Luke kept saying, "Dunk went to see Momma? Dunk went home? See Momma? Momma?" Yep, yep, we said. Luke continued to ask for weeks afterward, "Where's the dunk momma? Go home? See his momma?"
Well, now everything goes home to see his/her/its Momma, just like the baby dunk.
**We see birds flying and Luke says, "Going home? Birds going home to see Momma?" Yep, I say. They miss their momma.
**We go past our neighbors and the horses aren't out and Luke says, "Horsies go home? Momma? Miss momma?" Yep, I say.
**The ducks and turtles in a nearby pond aren't there when we run by and Luke says, "Duckies go home, miss momma?" Yep, I say. "Turtles, too? Miss momma?" Yep, I say.
**The other day we passed a 75 year old man on his bike. Luke said, "Where's that guy goin' momma?" I said, "I don't know, just biking." Luke said, "Going home to see his momma? He misses his momma?" Yep, he must, I said.
**In August after our last parade of the summer season I said, "Well, that will probably be our last parade this summer, Luke. The parades are all done. Luke said, "Parades all done? Go home to momma? See momma?" Yep, that's right, I said.
**Today a truck drove by and Luke said, "Oooh, that's a big truck, momma. Where's that truck going? Going home?" I said, do you think it misses it's momma? "Yep" Luke said.
**Luke brought home some caterpillars that we found on a run. He let them go though, so they could "go home to see their mommas."
**It was raining the other day and Luke said, "Thunder comin', momma?" I said I didn't think so b/c it was just raining lightly. "Thunder go home?" said Luke. Yep, to its momma.
