Ok – I’ve got some doozies for ya this week! Here’s your weekly dose of Becca-isms… and there’s a lot this week – I’m getting better at writing things down.
- Cody: “Are you ready for some football?” (In the announcer’s voice.) Becca: “No.” Hey, she’s nothing if not honest.
- Playing with her alphabet puzzle: “X marks the spot!”
- “It’s a cockadoo!” (Pointing to a rooster)
- “Awk Awk Polly wanna cwacker!” (Playing with the parrot from her pirate set.)
- “We go to the park and I go down the spider slide!” She means spiral slide. It took me a LONG time to figure this out. I kept thinking maybe she saw a spider on the slide. Nope. Just a spiral. Now if she ever sees a spider on a spiral slide, that will be something.
- “When I see my friend Fairy (not the child’s name, but it sounds sort of similar, so Boo calls her Fairy), I gonna give her a big ole hug! She my bestest gwirl friend!”
- Me: “Are you hungry for ham or turkey for lunch?” Becca: “Probly not.” Me: “Well, what are you hungry for?” Becca: “Probly Peabutter Jeddy.” Glad she knows what she wants!
- Sitting at the breakfast table, looking at the windows. “Is smallest, smallest, biggest. Biggest in da middle. So many lines. The bwinds is cwosed.” Perfectly accurate – two smaller windows on either side of the large one, with the blinds closed.
- “Mommy eatin hers breakist. We eatin muffins. Mommy made them so so tasty good!” Why thank you, they did turn out pretty good!
- Started coughing at lunch. I told her to get a drink, she did, and replied: “Dats better!”
- “Mommy hold you?” (Three words I love to hear… but not when I’m doing the dishes.)
- “We listen to music, mommy? More Mandisa!” Girl knows good music when she hears it!
- “I need some nice clean cold fresh water wiff ice, pwease.” That’s a lot of adjectives, girl! Why don’t you tell me how you REALLY want your water?
