Here’s one that’s sure to lull a restless child into sleep: “night night chicken butt ham head yoo hoo!” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Saying Goodnight”
Grant, one more thing to say about that bedtime saying, good night, sleep tight, see you on the big drum.
We heard from Michelle Landcastle in Bow, New Hampshire, that’s just outside of Concord.
She writes, I had to share the lengthy laugh I had this morning thinking of future generations trying to decipher our goodnight ritual, which is, you ready? Night-night chicken butt ham head woo-hoo.
What? Night-night chicken butt ham head woo-hoo.
Is this what they say in New Hampshire or just her family? Just the Lancaster family.
She says, it’s something my daughter started saying when she was very small and it has persevered over the years. Who knows if it’ll carry on to my children’s children and beyond, but I’m having a good laugh imagining it.
I am too. That’s awesome.
