From the mouth of my second babe. What will he say next?
“Don’t worry!”
My sweet boy always notices when someone is upset, and he’s the first one with a gentle touch and soft words. Bless him and his positive attitude.
“You’re five years old, Sissy!”
I’m fairly certain he picked this one up from me, but it has become his go-to comment when he catches Ava doing something she’s not supposed to be doing. Since he often suffers from younger-child-syndrome, I usually let him get away with it. Especially when it comes with a tiny pointed finger in his sister’s direction. Too cute!
“I don’t kill this!”
This one’s an interesting combination that requires an explanation. Awhile ago, Ava had been frequently stating “I don’t care!” about this and that, and we wanted to put a stop to that particular response. So Hudson, being the observant two-year-old that he is, decided he should probably say it too. Except right around the same time I got mad about something and used the word “kill” (as in, "these bills are going to KILL!"), which he immediately recognized was not a good word. Thus, he combined my and Ava’s poor choice of words to create his own unique swear phrase. Yes, I should definitely break him of this one, but it’s too, too funny! He says it with such vim and vigor, and usually hits something on the word “kill” for effect, especially when he's feeling irritated or particularly saucy.
“Na-na-na-na-boobies!”
Does this creative take on a traditional taunt even require justification? Oh, boys!
