Chelle in MO Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Overheard last night at dinner: I will replace all the kids names with different names. I could write a book of these; I just try to transcribe in real time and then email my mom and sister. "James" is 7, "Jack" is 2, "Anne" is 4. -------------- James: "Jack is eating all of his meat pie because he is the biggest carnival." Anne: (thinking this has been an insult): "Jack is not a carnidal!" James: "Jack is definitely a carnival. Do you even know what a carnival *is*?" Anne: "Jack is NOT a CARNIDAL!" James: "You don't even know what a carnival is. A carnival is someone who is a masterpiece at eating meat." Anne: "James, do you even know what a [indecipherable word] cookie is?" James: "There's no such fing." Anne: "It's someone who eats a lot of cookies." ---------------------- I am not sure if this is improving [Anne]'s vocabulary or just confusing her. Hilarious! I really miss the days of my boys being little! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I think she's holding her own! My Dd8 corrected my grammar today. "It's 'hanged', not 'hung', Mom." I'm trying to remember which historical person we were discussing, but they got HANGED.
