Happoon?

Madeleine's favorite new phrase: "Uh-oh. Happoon?" Usually she is well aware of what happooned, as she frequently knocks random items over or drops things just for the pleasure of asking "Happoon?" Some variations of this particular phrase include:

"Oh, no! Happoon?"
"Uh-oh! At Happoon?"
"Uh-oh! 'S goin'?"
"Uh-oh! Doin'?"

Any of the above may be punctuated with "Baby Gaga?"

Sometimes what happooned doesn't even need to be an object falling or getting knocked over. Sometimes, even a person disappearing under a blanket will suffice. Monday night as Ethan lay resting on the couch after coming home sick from work, Madeleine toddled over to him and pulled the blanket over his face, then turned to me, eyes wide, gesturing towards the couch, saying, "Uh-oh! Happoon?" She then turned back to Ethan and pulled the blanket off his face, smiling winsomely at him and exclaiming, "Boo!" Probably just the game he wanted to be playing as he attempted to take a much-needed nap.

Here's a short video of Madeleine trying to figure out what was happooning as she played in the living room:



Uh-oh!
