There’s an episode of The Simpsons in which Martin Prince (the chubby, brainy kid) gets agitated because people aren’t paying attention to his geode presentation and, instead, are focused on Bart’s dog who’s in the classroom dancing around and doing dog-things. In utter frustration Martin squeaks out, “My geode must be acknowledged!!”

We use the term “geode” whenever one of the kids is insisting on immediate parental attention in an increasingly agitated manner. Like if we’re in the middle of trying to fix one kid’s problems and another is dancing around shouting, “Look at my socks! I have nice socks, don’t I? Do you like socks? I LIKE SOCKS!” out of jealousy that we’re paying attention to the first kid.

I believe it’s a pretty common sibling thing, but “GEODE!” sums it up nicely. :)

I have to know…. what does Geode refer to?

DH and I refer to our dogs as “little one” and “tubby” when we’re trying to point out how cute they’re being cause the second you say their name they move or at the very least look at you.
