The simple conversations. There are generally two types.
Type 1: Mastering the Obvious
Little Z: "I got two eyes. Two eyes. Daddy? Daddy got two eyes?"
Daddy: "Oh, let me see here. One. Two. Yep! I got two eyes! And they're both the same size."
Little Z: "Mommy? Mommy got two eyes?"
Me: "Yes, yes. I have two eyes."
Daddy: "Are you sure?"
Me: "I think so."
Daddy: "Are they both the same size?"
Me: "Probably."
Type 2: Bossing People Around
Little Z (armed with drawing implements): "Draw zebra!"
Me: "Okay."
Later...
Little Z: "Choo choo train! Play with choo choo train!"
Me: "Okay."
Later...
Little Z: "Sit down!"
This one's my favorite. She always says this when I'm cleaning.
Me: "Okay."
Later....
Little Z: "Do puzzle!"
Me: "No. I don't like puzzles."
Little Z: "Me do puzzle self. My puzzle. Mine. Me do self."
Tell your hubby that I love that "Two Eyes" song! (Does he sing it in a Cookie Monster voice?)
ReplyDelete:D
On our vinyl copy of the song, it's not Cookie Monster. It's the real people singing it, the grown-ups. My husband does have a great Cookie Monster voice, though. On one Christmas album he sang "I'm Looking Through You," very much like Cookie Monster. (I bet you didn't know Cookie Monster played the mandolin.)
