The boys were asking me the other day if I would read them the funny things they said when they were little. Of course I had NO idea where the little notebook was that I kept these “funny-isms”…but as I was trying to sift through some cupboards (organizing is one of my New Year’s Resolutions!) I found the book! The boys are in bed now but I am laughing hysterically on the couch as I read them to myself. Wish I would have been better at writing the funny things down. Hopefully I’ll remember more of them.
Jake-isms!
Feb. 2003 – (4 years old) We were having the inside of our house repainted. At the time Austin was only 1 so Jake was used to hearing him jabber. The workers were talking to each other in Spanish. Jake said to Tim, “Dad, why are they talking baby talk?” Dad explained they were from Mexico and so they spoke Spanish. (Ok that’s funny but there’s more!) Austin was babbling to himself one day. Jake turned to me all excited and said, “Mom, Austin is speaking Spanish!”
July 2003 – Words that Jake would say
Ma-za-gene: for magazine
Cock-a-doo-doo: for Cock-a-doodle-doo
Paa-u-ter: for computer
Hos-ti-bul: for hospital
6/27/04 – (5 years old) Jake was being a little naughty one day. Dad asked him where he got to be so deviant. Jake said “at Wal-Mart!”
6/28/04 – Mom offered Jake some brownies for a snack. Jake declined to eat them because “they won’t make me brave!”
8/29/04 – The Bishop came over to visit us one evening. We explained to Jake that the Bishop represents Heavenly Father and Jesus for our ward. Jake asked “Is Heavenly Father and Jesus coming too?”
Austin-isms!
Sept 2004 – (2 1/2 yrs old) Austin got on the scale one and and said proudly “look mom, I weigh a hundred bucks!”
7/18/08 – (6 years old) Austin lost his 1st tooth as were were playing at the Foothill park by our house in Curti Ranch. His tooth hadn’t quite fallen out yet but his gum was bleeding so he rinsed out his mouth in the drinking fountain. Wouldn’t you know it…his tooth fell out while he was rinsing his mouth out and went right down the drain. Obviously, he wasn’t to happy about it!
July 2008 – (6 years old) Austin had been watching cartoons and they have all those infomercial type commercials on during the day. Out of the blue, Austin said I needed to buy some green bags. Green bags are something that helps you keep fruits and vegetables fresh. He then proceeded to say, “You need green bags so that the ethylene gas won’t rot the food.” Now I didn’t teach him that!
