The kids are always saying things that crack us up. Their language is constantly changing and evolving. Or they hit you up with questions that you aren't capable or ready to answer. It is always comical and I know that this is what especially makes this age so much fun. Case in point, Whitaker has started to calling me Alison Rooster Cummings. Since my official name is Alison Kogut Cummings and Kogut means rooster in Polish he thinks it is funny. Here are a few sayings or conversations of late and a few that I have saved in my notes in my phone that I forgot about.
Whitaker: I will remember I got a big brain. (September 15, 2015)
Mae: How does Santa watch over everyone when he only has two eyes? (November 19, 2015)
Here is a sample of conversation between Pearson and Mae on February 13th of this year.
Pearson: Mae why is there so much whining today? [In the most exasperated 42 year old dad parenting voice]
Mae: Because nothing goes my way! [In the most exasperated 7 year old voice].
Then there are the conversation I overhear between the kids. This one happened the other morning over breakfast and honestly I can't even remember what they were trying to play.
Whitaker: Mae can you please verse me?
Mae: [Silence]
Whitaker: You want to verse me? Mae, let's verse. You want to verse?
(Whitaker thinks that to play against someone or the shortening of versus, where two teams play each other is verse).
Or on Monday night when Whitaker and I were laying in bed going through a Where's Waldo? book.
Me: We must find a Romantic Caveman and Cave Woman. Whitaker do you know what romantic means?
Whitaker: It means they are in love.
Me: Do you know what in love means.
Whitaker: They smile at each other a lot, like this. [Big smile]
Me: You melt my heart.
Or a few months ago.
Whitaker: Mommy, what does sexy mean?
Me: Huh?
Whitaker: Sexy, what does it mean?
Me: It is a world to describe really beautiful.
Whitaker: Mom, you are sexy.
Me: Well actually it is only a word that mommies and daddies can say to each other. So Daddy can say it to mommy. But it would be very inappropriate for you to say to Mae or any other girl. Got it?
Whitaker: Yes. [Let's hope he doesn't call his teacher sexy].
