Pinky Dinky who?

Category: At Home

This was the exchange between father and daughter one evening:

"I was watching Dinky Doo*," said Lucie. (*Pinky Dinky Doo, a cartoon character on the Noggin channel.)

"Dinky Doo? You mean Scooby Doo, right?" asked Paul.

"Not Scooby Doo, Dad. Dinky Doo," replied Lucie.

"Dinky Doo? What's a Dinky Doo? Do you mean stinky poo?" asked Paul with a streak of mischievousness in his voice.

"No, Dad, not stinky poo! Dinky Doo!" exclaimed Lucie.

"I still think you mean Scooby Doo. Or maybe Boo Boo Bear?" considered Paul.

"NOOOO DAAAAD! DINKY DOO! You're just stupid. I'm not talking to you," yelled Lucie, clearly frustrated by her father's teasing.

Paul just laughed, amused at his daughter's opinion of his lack of intelligence.
