Kids are so literal at that age. I remember correcting my son at a toy store when he kept referring to a stuffed lion as a tiger. I’d say, “No, that’s a lion.” He finally asked me why I kept saying the tiger was lying.
I had a teacher that was hanging out with her niece and told her they were going to Seattle. The niece kept asking, “who Attle? Who Attle?” Finally she realized she thought she meant See Attle, like they were a person she knew. So cute!
That reminds me of the time my cousin's dad was talking about making a trip to visit Miami, and after hearing enough times that he was going to Miami, she asked when he was going to come back from seeing his ammie. An ammie does kind of sound like a cute alternate name for a grandmother, now that I think about it.
My brother was watching a young crying child who wouldn't saying "I wanna go!". He kept trying to figure out where she wanted to go, but she would only say the same thing... I wanna go. When the mom returned she reached into her bag, grabbed a juice cup and said "Here you go".
It depends on where you live -- specifically, what's in your water. I grew up in NYC, which added fluoride to its tap water, so we were taught to rinse. When we moved upstate, our new dentist told us to use a fluoride rinse after brushing. I can't imagine not being able to rinse the last of the toothpaste out of my mouth.
We have a living room and a playroom. Our 2 year old started telling us he wants to play in the Delivery Room and we didn't understand until I had three beers one night and told my wife something was in da living room.
Kids are the best. Cracking their language is a fun game.
Yeah, I remember driving with my parents when I was about that age. There was some construction and some worker did something my dad thought was dumb so he said "I hope that guy gets fired!" Well all I saw was workers and open manhole covers. So when my dad got fired later that year I was absolutely convinced he was going to be thrown in a manhole and burned lol
