"What's Dat?"

What's Dat? What's Dat? What's Dat? What's Dat? What's Dat? Welcome to our daily routine. I am not exaggerating when I say that Henry is asking this question HUNDREDS of times a day. I have heard about kids who say "why" all the time, so I guess this is Henry's version of that age old question. He even asks it when he knows exactly what the item is. Over and Over and Over and Over. Tomorrow, I have decided to count a day's worth to see exactly how many times a day he is asking it. Feel free to submit your guess!

UPDATE: I counted all day on July 2. I kept a little tally paper with me. I did NOT count "What's dat man doing?", "What's dat lady doing?" or "What's they doing?" which had to be said at least an additional 20 times during the day. I stuck purely to "What's Dat?" and the end of the day tally was ... 102 !!

When you next see me, if I am drooling and stuttering, you know I have completely lost my mind!

I'll guess 75. Do I get a prize if I get it right? Why don't you turn it around when he says it and ask him what he thinks it is? Oh, the joys of a 2 year old.
