Chucky Larms

Chucky Larms

June 5, 2009

In an earlier post on this blog, I wrote about how Breanna used to call Fruit Loops cereal “Bloop Bloops.” Unfortunately, she now calls them by their FBI name: Fruit Loops.

Lucky for my wife and me, she is still coming up with creative toddler names for other things. For example, she now calls Lucky Charms cereal by its toddler name, “Chucky Larms” (which I think is too cute for words). But what is in a Chucky Larm? I decided to investigate:

According to Calorie Count (a free service of About.com Health), this cereal receives a nutrition grade of “A” (which I have to admit surprised me, especially coming from a third party rather than from General Mills , the maker of this tasty treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a late night snack).

I dug a little deeper and found that Chucky Larms actually has its own website complete with some fun and easy computer games like Horseshoe Hotrod for example. (These are the type of games that you get in online greeting cards … nothing too tricky here). It’s a great place to waste some time if you’re bored. In fact, as I was playing a few games just now, Lucky the Leprechaun popped up on my screen and said, “Staying active every day is important, especially if you want to keep up with Lucky. Would you like to take a break from your computer to get some exercise?”

I was getting ready to go to the gym anyways, so I clicked Quit, wrote this post, and off to the gym I go.

I love the words that Bre (my 2-year-old princess) comes up with!

What are some funny words or phrases that your kids say?
