Nov. 2, 2008 - "Sam"isms
I had to laugh at my husband yesterday as he pulled something I'm notorious for-- a "Sam"ism. It's what we call it when I speak to my children as if they're adults. We were in the car listening to KLove and the song "I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul" came on and Anne (6) asked us what "gain" meant. I deferred to my DH, Geoff, because I couldn't think of a good way to explain it to her and he replied, "It means to aquire something." All I could do was burst out laughing...

Drew was talking about hats that people with different jobs wear today.
"Firefighters wear firefighter hats. Policemen wear policemen hats. Construction people wear construction hats. Daddies wear daddy hats. (referring to DH's baseball caps). If you're a Mommy you don't have to wear a hat."
Cute.

Elle (21mths) has a few cute sayings. One is "Oh man." The funniest part is that she says it at all of the appropriate times. She'll ask me to read and if I reply that I can't she'll say "Oh man" in this highly dissapointed voice and walk away. She also says "ok" all the time. I'll tell her I'm going to get her dressed now and she says, "Ok." Almost every time I make a statement to her she says it. The best one she says is, "Yes mom." My goodness it took my other two kids at least 3 years to get that one and I'm still reminding them... She will also say "bless you" and "love you" unprompted. And, everyday before her nap and bedtime, she insists on saying goodnight to Anne and Drew and giving them hugs and kisses. It's adorable.
