Days of the Week

This morning, Tiernan asked Colin, "Are you doe-in ta' wook today, Dadoo?"

"Yes, I have to go to work today," Colin affirmed.

"Is it Sunday?" Tiernan asked.

"No, it's Tuesday," came the correction.

Tiernan continued, "When is Threes-day?"

Later on, we were having sandwiches for lunch. Alluding to a Wiggles' song that matches days of the week with different foods, I asked Tiernan whether Tuesday is a sandwich day.

"Um, no, I think Sunday is a sandwich day," he said. The mention of this song reference, however, kept the tune running in all of our heads for the rest of the day.

In fact, around 4:30 in the afternoon, as he was sipping hot cider for tea-time, I overheard Tiernan singing, "Tuesday is a DRINKING day!"


Yes, my son, sometimes it is...
