The Things This Kid Says

Over the past few weeks Davis seems to have taken a turn with his vocabulary. While he's always been a bit ahead of the "vocabulary curve", I didn't realize that he was also ahead of the "smart-alec curve" and the "repeat-what-you-hear-your-mom-say curve".


Please note that I am working on cleaning up my language and if the f-bomb offends you, now would be a good time to close your Internet browser.


Here are a few conversations Davis and I have had recently and a few funny things he has said:


Didn't See That Coming
Me: "Davis, be careful getting into your car seat. Stop messing around - you are going to get hurt."
(Davis clumsily "tries" to get into his car seat, looses his footing and falls to the floor of the backseat.)
Davis: "Whoa! I didn't see THAT coming!"

After I picked myself up off the garage floor from laughing so hard he told me that it's a line from his new favorite movie "Curious George". Watch it carefully - it's in there. He found it and used it in perfect context with the right tone and inflection.

Food and Snakes?
Me: "Davis - please stop putting the play dough in your mouth."
(Davis continues)
Me: "Davis - we don't put anything in our mouth unless it is food."
(Davis continues)
Me: "Davis. Did you hear what I said?"
Davis (in a mocking tone): "We don't put it on our mouth unless it's food and snakes."


Clearly he has Eric's sense of humor and my mocking tone of voice.


F-bomb
I am totally ashamed to post this and I promise that I am no longer using the word - but it really needs to be documented so we can look back on it years from now and laugh. And trust me....it will be YEARS before I actually laugh about it.


Me: "Davis, it's time for lunch. We're having cracker stacker's!"
Davis: "Yay! Cracker stacker's!"
(Davis helps me prepare lunch - cheese, crackers, turkey, sugar snap peas and Dijon.)
(We set the plate on the table and as Davis gets situated in his chair he bumps the plate and spills a few crackers after which this follows...)
Davis: "Ahhhh! Fu*#ing CRACKERS!"


This was not a proud moment for him or I. As much as I was ashamed that he said such a thing - I couldn't help but think "hey, at least he used it in the right context."


Oh, and his new line that he uses a dozen times a day - "You've got to be kidding me!"
