same game, different game

i have a secret for you is a game mom plays that is particularly enticing to toddlers.  mom simply whispers sweet nothings in kiddo's ear and then the child takes a turn doing the same.  when stover girl was younger, she often just repeated back what was said.  she loved the game and mom loved hearing compliments like 'you're so cute'. 


stover boy is now at the age of appreciation and he initiates playing nightly.  however, it's a totally different game for him.  mom whispers a sweet nothing like 'you're such a smart boy' and in return mom is surprised with a tongue twister such as 'zizzer zazzer zuzz' or 'peter piper picked pick epper'.
