A Ruby Funny

Here's a Ruby Funny to start your day off the right way:

I'm calling carpet and painting services this morning to get some quotes on some work we'd like to have done on the house.  Ruby is being surprisingly cooperative, despite her rough night of sleep.  Just now, after I was finished talking with a contractor, I noticed that Ruby had gotten ahold of the wipes.  She was saying something, waving her hand in front of her face, and it sounded like more than blabber, so I listened closely.  This is what I heard:

"Ooo!  Keenkee, ooobeee, keenkeeeee.  Ooo!  Keenkee, keenkee.   Oooo, ooobeee, keenkeeee!"

Let me translate for you:

"Whew!  Stinky, Ruby, stinky!  Whew!  Stinky, stinky.  Whew, Ruby, stinky!"

LOL!!  :)  She had a dirty nappy this morning, and it was fairly rank.  I'm pretty sure Mike and I said, "Whew!  Stinky!" at least a dozen times.  Not to mention, she hears it regularly throughout the week.   So, she decided to mimic our behavior about an hour after she had observed it.  I was cracking up...especially since she was waving her hand in front of her face.  :)

Oh, and can I please count "More, please" as her first two-word phrase, even though one word is spoken and one word is signed?  It's so much more pleasing than "Stinky Ruby".  Please?
