Say What?

I wonder if I were no longer around suddenly, how anyone including Aaron would communicate with these three people who seem to speak a totally different language:

I told Caden we were going to get McDonald’s after Reese’s doctor appointment on Thursday. The first thing he says to me is “I want to dump.” I know you’re think McDonald’s doesn’t agree with him but that’s not what he means. He wants to dump his part of the French fries onto his plate out of the fry container.

When Ethan is outside he says “hire, hire” . . . he’s not looking for a job. He wants someone to push him on the swing higher and higher.

Caden and Addison say DeeVee DeeVees which means DVDs.

Ethan says “open” when he wants to watch a Wiggles video because he can’t open the closet door where all the Wiggles videos are kept.

But there is something being said very clear. Caden is now saying . . . “What the hell?” Nice. One of the two times I heard it was when he was looking at a magazine at the doctor’s office sitting in the waiting room with lots of people. I really don’t think I say that (although I have other choice phrases) and I can recollect Aaron saying it sometimes so this time he gets the blame. Can’t wait to scrapbook the teacher notes I get about what my kids say next year at preschool!
