What does Tom say?

This morning, I had the following conversation with Lizzie-bear.

Me: What does the puppy say?
Her: Woof woof
Me: What does the kitty say?
Her: Meow
Me: What does the lion say?
Her: Rawr
Me: What does Tom say?
Her: Bebe.....

Here's why this is wildly amusing. Our friend Tom is helpless when it comes to anything having to do with the kitchen. The joke (at least, I think it's a joke) is that he's not allowed to make a sandwich without supervision. Anytime our group of friends is over at his house, asking a difficult question like "Hey Tom, how do you set the timer for the oven?" results in him yelling "Bebe..." and asking his wife. And so, Lizzie-bear knows that what Tom says - in the same fashion that she knows the rooster says "cock-a-doodle-doo" - is "Bebe".
