Sometimes my kids say things that make me do a "double take." This has happened at least twice with Mr. Buddy in the last few weeks. I'm starting to wonder if the reason I have difficulty understanding him sometimes is because he is saying words I don't expect him to say as opposed to just being 3 and mumbling or talking too fast. Well, maybe it's both.... Those who have been around him recently know that he talks non-stop from sun-up to sun-down (or from son-up to son-down as a friend of mine likes to say). So, here are the two most recent instances where my 3 year old's vocabulary has made me feel like I might need to return to school (or to pre-school at least!).
Buddy after flushing the potty: "Look! The water is all clean and white."
Me: "Actually, the water is clear, like in the sink, but the toilet bowl is white."
Showing him the water coming from the faucet: "See, you can see through it."
Buddy: "Oh, you mean it's transparent!"
Buddy was chattering away while I was getting breakfast ready.
Me: "Do you want some Monster Mini Wheats?" (a while back the box had the Monster University characters on it and the name stuck even though the new box has Spiderman)
Buddy: "Roar! That's an onomatopoeia!"
Me: "Did you just say onomatopoeia?"
Buddy: "Yeah. Roar! Boom! Crash! Bam! Those are onomatopoeias!"
