"Manueli"

When we got home from church last Sunday night, I noticed that "C" left her bike out on the front yard. I asked her to put it back inside the garage. She's left it out so many times. Luckily, noone has taken it yet!

Usually when we input the code on the outside panel, the garage door opens. However, this time, it only made a sound and it didn't open. Earlier that day, she and her cousins were in the garage playing. So I proceeded to ask her if they played with the garage door opener.

C: Well, when I was trying to open the garage door earlier, "B" was holding on to the garage door. So I had to manueli do it.
Me: What? what do you mean?
C: You know.. when you manueli do something?

I still couldn't figure out what she was saying. Then it finally dawned on me that she was trying to say "manually." LOL!
I told her the correct pronunciation but she insisted that the Webster dictionary should really add manueli because it sounded much better!

That lead to us making a rhyme/rap song using the word manueli. I wish I posted this Sunday. I don't remember the rap song anymore but somehow it included the words intentionally, painfully and diarrhea. Hubby thought we were nuts! :D

Kids!
