One day she couldn't find them and said "I can't find my shoeson" She thought that's what they were!<br /><br />Younger daughter told us once that she was so "essited" when she was excited, we still say that. Regularly.<br /><br />We still mock my brother, who once indignantly shouted, "Well, EVIDENTUALLY, you just don't know!!!"Capri K @ No Whining Allowedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766473608842771588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-19953200740675835782011-02-04T20:05:27.309-05:002011-02-04T20:05:27.309-05:00Joyce, your blog posts always tug at my heartstrin...Joyce, your blog posts always tug at my heartstrings.

My oldest daughter used to say "I bless you'd" when she sneezed. And her favorite cereal was "crapped in crunch". We still eat "racky cheese" (macaroni & cheese) and "kitchen on the clob" (chicken legs). My favorite though is when I would tell the kids to behave and my daughter would respond with "we're being have".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641059685087617173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-77896337017140536082011-02-04T15:19:30.183-05:002011-02-04T15:19:30.183-05:00The things kids say!!

Wish I had kept a journal of all the cute things my classroom children said over the years. Loved this post!!!

But I do remember a few from the Ts. Getdonalds = McDonalds. Merote = remote. Caputer = computer. Ambliance = ambulance. Yourselfess = yourselves. Grow up = throw up. T#1 is getting old enough now that he's not always amused by our deliberate use of his mispronuncians; we try to explain that we say these because it's our way of remembering some of the cute things we did when he was little. He understands, but he doesn't "get it". Thankfully the other Ts are still young enough to not take any offense. A little piece of my heart is broken when each T grows up enough to pronounce the words correctly.Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-81290534495353112732011-02-03T11:53:57.341-05:002011-02-03T11:53:57.341-05:00Love those!
