Tonight I was in Jackie's room, patiently waiting for her to read with me as she flitted around doing whatever five-year-olds do when they're really supposed to be sitting still.
At one point, she began coughing in an effort to dislodge some phlegm in her throat. (Is there some slang way of describing this type of coughing? How about non-slang?)
"Jackie, are you o.k.?" I asked. "Do you need a drink?"
"No, mom," cough, cough, she answered. "Don't worry, I just have a frog in my throw-up."

Fabulous! Kids are great for funny little isms. I love that blogs help us keep track of the funny things they say and do. :) Mandi
ew! and funny at the same time. I use "hacking" to describe coughing like that. "What are you hacking up now?!" :D
A frog in her throw-up? sounds...odd
