My 3-year-old daughter...
"Mom, I need to take my telescope off."
...Apparently 'telescope' is a synonym for 'stethoscope' in toddler talk
M: "Can I have something to drink, please?"
Me: "Absolutely. What would you like?"
M: "Umm...Poison. I want some poison, please."
...This sounds like it should be cause for concern, does it not? Relax, my good friends, and do not be alarmed. The funniest thing about this quote is that I knew exactly what she meant. She, of course, wanted apple cider.
Still confused?
My son had been talking about apples, and specifically, the poison apple from Snow White shortly before this little conversation happened. So in my daughter's mind, she was thinking of a poison apple and naturally, then, 'poison' would be another word for 'apple cider.' I pray they don't have apple cider for a snack at school any time in the near future. Or ever, for that matter.
"Mom, you are the lose winner."
...Oh, how I love it when they just make up words or phrases to fit what they're trying to express when they don't have those words or phrases yet. Perhaps what I love most of all, though, is that she doesn't know the word 'loser' yet. I'm OK with keeping it that way for as long as possible.
My 5-year-old son...
...Oh, it's a doozie this week. So much so that he's getting his own post all to himself on Thursday. Stay tuned...
No matter what they say, You Are a Good Mom.
