"Please stop squeaking at your tomatoes!"

Sitting at dinner...
Niya picks up a tomato piece (which she doesn't want to eat) and stabs it onto her plate "Eeeek" she says, as if killing it! Done with that victim, she moves on to the next tomato... tiny arm out-stretched like a crane, picks up the tomato off the table with all five fingers strait, swings the crane arm over the plate, and bringing the full arm down on the pointed fingers holding the new victim... "Eeeek!" she shouts victoriously!

At a loss for anything else to say (and trying not to laugh) I utter: "Please stop squeaking at your tomatoes!"

A totally ridiculous phrase in any context!

Ahhh the joys of parenting, you can sound totally insane on a daily basis! :)
