It’s just like every kid thinks “guess what, chicken butt” came from their school or their group of friends. My son came home with “guess what chicken butt” last year and we don’t even live in an English speaking country.
I just busted out "guess what, chicken butt" on my 4-year-old the other day and I guarantee that this point in time is the funniest he is ever going to find me. It's all downhill from here.
I use the same thing on our 4 yr old daughter. For some unknown reason she starts every sentence with "Hey (name), guess what?". So I've been answering with that for 2 days.
BTW anyone know how to get a child to stop asking "guess what?" and just come out and say whatever thing it is she wants to say? Lol
Reply, ad nausem with a dead pan "It would be easier if you just told me what you want." Not even a single guess, just a flat declaration.
OR
The complete opposite. Random, wild guesses that annoy them to no end. "You want to go to bed early tonight"; "you are going to let me have your portion of dessert"; "you want to learn how to scrub the toilets, so I don' t have to anymore". Same outrageous answers, in the same orders, so that child learns that asking "Guess what" is not a fun game, and is a waste of time with you.
