Yodelling for Amateurs

The little angel recently learned to yodel. It started out when she realized that no matter how hard she tries, she can't actually grab her tongue. She will attempt such tongue-grabbing for hours, but she never seems to catch it. She does succeed in covering everything around her in saliva and twisting her tongue in new shapes. One afternoon, she was innocently trying to grab her tongue when she laughed at the same time. She looked so shocked and amazed - it was as though she'd been told about unicorns. She tried it again. Same yodeling sounds, so easy to change! Just squish the tongue and make different noises! And you can try to grab the tongue at the same time, with different fingers! I have fingers! Callooh! Callay!

Now this yodelling is handy for phone conversations with Grandma and lifting me out of my post-office funk, but annoying at 6 a.m.
