Dido

Dido: A dido is a childhood prank. Dido is southern (black?) vernacular for the high jinx and antics of children. Dido is completely unrelated to the founding queen of Carthage or the pop singer. It is also, obviously, unrelated to electrical diodes, even though many Google searches for didoes refer to diodes.

It was all well and good to say we would be with out parents, but after all, who were they? Would they be more severe with our didoes that she? That would be bad. Or more lax? Which would be even worse.
