Peanut: It’s not that you are bad luck. You’re just not good luck. [to me]
Boo: I saw a millipine. Or is it Philippine? [referring to a multi-legged insect]
Squirt: Nutchum! [it's a name he calls people, and we don't know where it came from or what it means]
Peanut: I’ve seen the movies. I know how it all works.
Squirt: Be careful you don’t get stinged by the p-nuss. [after having been stung by a wasp]
Squirt: Ever have a bug bite on your p-nuss?
NA: I don’t have a penis.
Squirt: Ever have one on your China?
Squirt: Since we share a room can we share your money? [after Boo lost his first tooth]
Boo: I saw Sasquatch, Karl Marx, and a footprint! [he's newly obsessed with Bigfoot and frequently goes on searches for him.]
Squirt: I don’t like you! [to Peanut]
NA: I promise you there is no better sister in the world.
Peanut: At least you aren’t related to Lindsey Lohan or Sarah Palin.
Squirt: mermotes [his version of remotes]
Boo: I thought it was off-ten for years! [after learning that the 't' isn't pronounced in 'often']
Boo: I think some of my taste buds are off.
Squirt: Dark Bader and his life savers.
Boo: Guess what I’m gonna smell like when I come out of the bathroom?
While watching Deadliest Dozen - Australia
Boo: Why did God make these animals anyway?
Squirt: I hate these animals.
Boo: I’m glad we don’t live in Australia [no offense intended to any of my Aussie friends, he knows not what he says]
Squirt: Is a hot pepper hot?
We pronounce the t in often…
My kids always say that they are glad they don’t live _____ after watching an episode of Deadly Dozen. My 5yo then goes on to tell people that they should never, ever, ever go to India, Australia, Africa, the Asian-Pacific and wherever else they have focused an episode.
When taking two 5 year olds on a field trip the conversation can be stellar:
M: I saw a police with a Real Gun.
Z: Did he shoot you?
M: No
Z: Did he miss?
You’ve got the cutest kiddos!
Love them all, the China comment made me laugh out loud, literally. Do you keep a note book handy? Type it into your phone? I would never remember them! Such great moments captured for your family, thanks for sharing them. I just have a couple that warm my heart: sparkling=sprinkling. And scabetty=spaghetti. I know I will be so sad when my 7 year old starts pronouncing them correctly. I refuse to correct him because it’s so charming.
I always have a notebook with me, but I do usually end up typing them into my phone.
Ooh, I have two to share.
Yesterday I asked my three-year-old if she wanted to wear a special outfit to school today since they have a soldier coming to visit their classroom to celebrate “community helpers week.” She told me: “Well, I have to wear an ugly shirt, because when soldiers come, if you’re not wearing an ugly shirt, they’ll take it [your shirt] from you.”
Then she told me about all the special jobs in her class…there’s the door holder, the time keeper, the line leader…and sometimes they all wash their teacher’s car.
:)
Keep writing these down. They are gems that need to be kept! :-)
It doesn’t matter that our kids are grown…….In our family we don’t smell skunks, we “hear a snunk” and our remote is forever to be called a “mote-can”. The list goes on and on. We have now introduced the boys significant other to some of our unique verbage and since they haven’t gone running into the night, they must be keepers :-)
