From the mouths of babes…
And it starts. Our little guy has started to piece together the occasional sentence. That means I’ll start to be able to get away with posting something hilarious he’s said.
Yesterday was scary, though. I have a bad habit of saying things to my son assuming that he doesn’t understand and is probably just going with the flow. Walking through Walmart, we approached the TVs without my wife. I said to Luke, “When mommy comes back, you should say, ‘Mommy, New TV please?’ ” Now, at 19 months, I figured he might think “oh, Dad’s talking to me.”
Imagine my surprise when my wife approached a minute later, and Luke decided to speak up.
“Mama! Teebee Pease?”
Yep. He was listening after all. Hilarious… and a good reminder that little ears pick up more than I expect!
Awww! I would have loved to see how you and Rebecca reacted!

Yep, I still remember when my baby sister (about 3 yrs old) told me, “Daddy’s out back trying to start the damn lawn motor.”

Thanks, you made me laugh out loud!
Andrew,

I remember at about 7 (I should have known better), repeating something Dad had said about Grandma Nichols preference for a certain grandchild at a large family gathering – he wasn’t thrilled – so yes – be careful what you say, and hey, you probably won’t be able to sign either
Love ya,
