Meemo

Have you ever wondered what "Meemo" means?  Mommy and Daddy have been wondering that same thing for weeks...trying to figure out what I mean when I say "Meemo".  Everytime I would point to something different, on counters, on the couch, on tables, and say "Meemo".  They were so confused because I'm usually very clear about what I'm talking about.  After all, I can say words and point to things like "airplane," "mouse," "watch," and "Elmo".  Well, this evening, Mommy was happy to announce to Daddy that she finally figured out what I've been saying.  

You see, this afternoon, she showed me some old video tapes that her cousins Lauren and Geoffrey had upstairs.  I got all excited because they're cartoon ones with animals on them, like "101 Dalmations", "Jungle Book," "The Fox and The Hound", and "Babe".  I carried them and followed her all over the house until Mommy finally gave in and said she would try to show me one of them.  Mommy tried to hook up the VCR, but with all the other stuff hooked up, she was having some difficulty.  She kept fiddling with the TV buttons, the wires on the back, and kept pushing different buttons on the remote control.  One time, she asked, "Where is that remote?"...

And, I said, "Meemo."

I guess it's true that I take after my parents when I always say "Bice" (bicycle) around Daddy, and I always say "Meemo" (remote) around Mommy.
