Have your little ones been saying any funny things recently? Anton is 2, and Toby is almost 6, and they’ve become a hilarious little duo. They’re also fascinated by the idea of being grownups. Here are a few things they’ve been saying recently…
Toby: “Daddy, what music is playing?”
Alex: “The Doors.”
Toby. “I don’t like The Doors… But I do like doors.”
Toby: “You’re not the boss.”
Me: “I actually am the boss.”
Toby: “Not of daddy.”
Me: “Yes, I’m the boss of daddy, too. OF EVERYONE.”
Me: “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Anton: “A firefighter robot.”
Me: “Will you live in Brooklyn?”
Anton: “Yes, and have a stoop.”
Me: “What will you do on the stoop?”
Anton: “Eat ice cream and say hi to the FedEx guy.”
Alex: “Did you know that when I was a kid, we didn’t have iPhones?”
Toby: “So, when you were little, there were no cars and just horses?!””
Anton: “We got cookies today from the neighbor. He said his mother made the cookies.”
Me: “What’s a mother?”
Anton: “You know, kind of like a lady who works on a computer and has tools.”
Anton: “Can I please have a quesadilla?”
Me: “With chicken?”
Anton: “No, just cheese and tor-teera.”
We recently went out for ice cream by our apartment.
Me: “You know what I would love for my next birthday? This brownie right here.”
Toby: “For your next birthday, do you know what I will give you? A robot!”
Anton: “I will give you a remote control car. I will have the first turn with the remote control car.”
Me: “Those presents sound so nice! They sound like things you would both like! Now think about me: What would I like? Think about things I really like.”
Anton: “Knives?”
Toby: “… Us?”
What about your little ones? What have they been into recently?
P.S. Talking to kids about sex, death and everything else.
