Dylan has developed an unusually strong connection with “Hankey” mouse. Yes, that’s right. He thinks Mickey’s name is “Hankey”!
It happened like this: one day, we both had colds so whenever Dylan started chanting, “hankey, hankey, hankey”, I whipped out a hankie and wiped his nose! It went chant-wipe-repeat. He must have gotten tired of this because, he finally said, “Nooooo! Hankey. Change DIAPER!”.
I stopped what I was doing. What?? Pause. Pause.
Me (pointing at Mickey Mouse): “Wait….Who is this?”
Dylan (in a totally matter-of-fact tone of voice): “Hankey Mouse.”
Ohhhhhh! Silly mommy.
Since then, the two have been nearly inseparable!
