Say what?

A two year old little girl + a rapidly expanding vocabulary = some wild and random comments (some funny, some head-cocking worthy).

Five examples, all within the last 48 hours:

1. "Hey Dad, Jedi has a tail. He's a good boy!" (Pat pat pat)

Parental thoughts: tail = good behavior?


2. "Daddy, Jedi has a mouth...and a tongue. You have tongue too. Lemme see it." (Daddy sticks tongue out) "It has butter on it".

Parental thoughts: Ummm...I don't even have a clue.


3. This morning...10am. Zoe: "Mommy, I see the sun. It's light outside. It's getting dark!" Mommy: "No it's not, Zoe. It'll be light for a long time today." Zoe: "Yes it is...."

Parental thoughts: She has this fascination with light and darkness. Maybe not seeing the sun for a month led to her getting light and dark mixed up.


4. Zoe: "I'm playing wif my baby." Mommy: "Yeah? Does your baby have a name?" Zoe: "It's baby DOLL, mom."

Parental thoughts: Thought #1 - wow, my little girls's getting an attitude. Thought #2 - where did this "mom" come from. What happened to "mommy"?


5. Zoe: "I'm going on a bear hunt, mommy." Mommy: "A bear hunt, huh? Can I go?" Zoe: "Yeah" Mommy: "What now?" Zoe: "We're going through the gwass. And over a rock. And marching. And swimming. Shh...the bear's sleeping. He's awake now!"

Parental thoughts: Wow - what imagination. I think they actually sing some sort of song on Sunday nights at childcare about a bear hunt. She was even doing movements with this. Too cute!
