All parents get to enjoy the funny things their toddlers say, but we pity those who don't have twins and never get to hear entire conversations between two-year-olds. Here are some of our favorite recent conversations we've either overheard or participated in:
The twins were playing with blocks, when David John came over and knocked down Elijah's tower.
Gabe: 'Lijah, Baby knock down blocks?
Elijah: Yeah.
Gabe: Bad Baby! That's one! You okay 'Lijah? Need hug?
Gabe and Elijah frequently have scheming meetings upstairs in the play room. Here's a typical overheard conversation:
Gabe: 'Lijah, you climb crib. Get Baby's duck.
Elijah: Me climb crib, get duck on shelf?
Gabe: Yeah- you climb crib.
Elijah: Okay.
On the way to my parent's house, a car merged into me, forcing me into the other lane. The following interaction ensued:
Me: (yelling at the car in alarm) Where the heck do you think you are going?!?
Elijah: (yelling from the backseat) I going to Grandma's house!!
A conversation overhead on the baby monitor about a plastic alligator the boys requested to take to bed with them. I told them the alligator could sleep between them so they wouldn't fight over it.
Gabe: 'Lijah, you not want alligator. It's Gabe's. You not want it.
Elijah: Yeah, I not want... no! I want it Gabe, I want it!
Gabe: No 'Lijah, you not want it. It's Gabe's.
Another overheard conversation:
Elijah: Gabe, you grumpy. You very grumpy.
Gabe: No! I not grumpy! I just naughty.
Marc was randomly singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from the Wizard of Oz one day. The boys decided it was the most awesome song ever and started requesting the song and repeating the words. Today Marc was singing it for them and he would pause to let them fill in some of the words.
Marc: Ding, dong...
Gabe: ...the witch is dead
Marc: which old witch...
Gabe: ...the wicked *itch!
We tried to tell him that was a naughty word but he thinks it is hilarious. We are endeavoring to ignore it now since he has repeated it several times since then. We sure love our funny two-year-olds.

Ahhh, I love how funny kids are! Good luck with the wicked witch thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI once heard about a grandmother's reaction to a grandkid using a potty word and it went something like:
ReplyDeleteThe kid came home from school saying this potty word and his grandmother was home and heard this. She pretended to be hard of hearing and kept asking the kid to repeat the potty word. Each time she said, "Huh? What?" with a straight face and each time the kid would yell this potty word louder. Finally, the kid was so exasperated, he said, "That's it! I'm not saying it anymore!"
Hilarious, right? :)
