I often share how funny my 4-year old Paris' little brain works. Lately, she seems to be creating her own language. I think this may be the result of ease-dropping on her learned father teaching her elder siblings new words. I have to stay sharp to keep up with them all!
Here are a few examples:
abadeable - Used in a sentence; "I told Tucker hitting girls is NOT abadeable!"
crazy hair day - Used in a sentence; "OK mom you can do my hair, but this is not crazy hair day."
dispensadility - Used in a sentance; (after being told to pick up after herself and that she forgot to turn off the basement light)
"It is not my dispensadillity to turn the lights off!"
I was laughing too hard at this one to dispense a dility on her ars.
goodappointed - Used in a sentence; "Thank you for driving the stroller in the shade, I'm happy now, I'm goodappointed."
old-lady - well, apparently it is now acceptable for 4 year olds to refer to their 36 year old mothers as such, I'll leave it at that.
Our family went camping last weekend. My husband was having a hard time being patient waiting in the one-lane line to get into the campground as one individual either waved your through or sold you an entrance sticker. Our second time into the campground that day had us waiting again. As soon as the car ahead of us took off, Paris yelled out the window "Bye bye Pickle Suckers!" Afte laughing our faces off, we scrambled to think of how she came up with that one and whether anyone heard our 4 year old say that. Then it came to me - she hates pickles, and her sisters love them. So the people in front of us that were making us wait were people who not only ate pickles but must have savored the foul food also.
"Mama, Tucker is in my class.
Tucker likes to hit. He hits with sticks, he hits with toys.
But, I'm the lucky one, I told Tucker, girls are not abadeable!" (translation: debateable)
How many You Knows can you come up with? I challenge you...
You Know….
1. You know you have been too sarcastic lately when you pay your husband a compliment and he asks “why are you talking to me that way?”
2. You know you have bad road rage when your kids see orange-striped cones up ahead and they say to each other from the back of the car, “Oh no, Mama’s going to get mad.” In my defense there has been a lot of construction lately and I have a knack for running into more construction when I make a turn to avoid it.
3. You know you better check who your 4 year old’s friends are when she says “that song has the S-word in it” - she may have meant “stupid” but how does she know there is such a thing as an “S-word”?
4. You know that unfortunately your children may grow up to be just like you when your 22 month old says “Scooch, child, scooch!” to his sister.
5. You know your children don’t yet understand that their little brother is not an animal that can be put up for adoption or put down if it doesn’t work out, when after marveling at his skills of remembering everyone’s name correctly, one of them says, “yeh, he’s tamed now.”

1. Apparently I complain too much because when I said "I am going to throw up" she replied "No, Mama's don't throw up they just about to throw up."
2. You know you have too many children when your 4 year old says while leafing through a book about babies, "Mama, next time you have a baby in your tummy, I want it to look like this one."

After being told to calm down with her little brother and ignoring the warning, I pulled Paris' hands off of her brother. Forgetting herself she swatted me on the arm and then looked up at me in horror. I gasped and was about to start the lecture and hand out punishment, when Paris put her tiny hand over my mouth and said, "Don't say a word."
I've found it very interesting that Paris suddenly loves to go shopping with me. Today she asked if we could go look at all the things she might choose for her birthday, me being short on time and her birthday not being until January, I said "no, not today your birthday isn't for a long time anyway." Too which Paris said to herself under her breathe, "well, I guess I hate shopping now."

1. If it looks like poop on the floor it probobly is
2. If you can't see it or hear it but you know it is there, you should find out about it
(this is how #1 happens)
3. All animal analogies can be turned on you, such as...Monkey see, monkey do, When pigs fly (have you ever seen an 18 month old throw chunks of ham?)
4. All baby analogies are not to be believed - have you ever tried taking candy away from a baby?
5. In addition to what goes up must come down, what goes in must come out
6. Sticks and stones may break your bones and so will I if your words hurt my kid
7. Dirt do hurt if it gets in your eye or you track it in on your mother's clean floor
8. Close only counts in horse shoes - this one is true, much to my children's dismay and mine, it does not count in potty training and I have yet to find anything else in their world that it does
9. If you don't want something repeated and traced back to you as the source - don't say it - like s@#% when you're driving and someone pulls out in front of you
10. Don't ask a question that you may not want the answer to (most kids think being fat is a good thing)

Paris - Mom did you know that when I die I am never going to heaven? You want to know why?
Me - why!?
Paris - Because right before I go to heaven I am going to open my eyes!

After walking in what seemed like gail force winds to our car and crawling safely into our van, Paris said "shwew, that wind almost took my talking away!"
Paris - Did you know that you can call ants and spiders bad words?
Me - You can? Why do you think that!?
Paris - Because they poke you and God didn't know that when he made them
Me - laughter and theology lesson ensues

By 10 am this morning my little 4 year old Paris-girl had me laughing since she got out of bed.
While I was putting 16 month old Jack's slippers on:
Paris - Jack you're going to be cozy in no time!
While we were chillin' watching Noggin. Dora came on:
Paris - Mama, quick move take Jack's bottle out of his mouth, Dora's on, he has to say "Dora!"
Jack - "Dora!"
While making a book about God in which "Mary was giving God her ear-rings":
Paris decided God would play ball in her book after I noticed she had spelled the word "at" amongst her letters.
Paris - Mama how do you spell ball?
Me - b-a-l-l
Paris - write it for me! (I did)
Paris - it says at the ball.....game!
Paris - how do you spell game?
Me - g-a-m-e (I wrote it)
Paris - Cracker Jack!.........Mama how do spell Cracker Jack?
