2009 Kidisms

I have been writing down funny things that the kids say on the sidebar of my blog. I also wanted to keep them as a post so it will be in the blog archives. So here are the kidisms from when I began the blog (in August) until the end of the year.

December 2009
Tess, while listening to "Feliz Navidad" on the radio: "Mom, this Christmas song doesn't even have real words, does it?"
(update: Tess really enjoys this song now, and sings along whenever we hear it: "Ma-lease nobby-blah!")

Miles: "Peek-a-goop!"

November 2009
Miles, anytime something exciting happens: "Whoa, bye-o!" (translation is "Whoa, buddy!")

Tess, during prayer: "Please bless me and Miles so we can go to outer space soon."

I love the names that Tess gives to her babies (dolls or imaginary). Today, her daughter's name was Star-lippy.

Today we played at the park and then met Bryan for lunch. We all used hand sanitizer on the way to meet Daddy, and after Tess used it, she smelled her hands and said, "hmmm...my hands still smell like park." (And, you know, I knew exactly what she meant: equal parts "dirt" and "sweaty kid.")

October 2009
Tess was asking about snot, and where it comes from. I said that our bodies just make snot. She said, "but how? It's not like they have a recipe!" I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that...

In a restaurant, Tess noticed a family walk in and the two tween-age kids were wearing vests (the puffy kind). And just like Marty McFly's experience in the 1955 diner, she said "hey! Those kids are wearing swimming things!" (life jackets...)

September 2009
I was spraying sunblock on Tess and she said, "this must be made with fruit snacks. Cuz it's sticky."

Tess: "Mom, I'm in quite a bit of a predicament right now. I bet you don't know what that word means, do you?"

Tess was reading to Miles from his book about construction vehicles when she got to the page with the cement truck. She said, "and this one is called a sidewalk maker..."

August 2009
Tess, to Miles, while both were in the tub: "Miles, I have a vagina and you have a pa-genis." (Bryan's pretty embarrassed that I posted this...but I think it's funny, so it's stayin'!)

Tess (after Miles had just had a huge sneeze): "Mom, Miles just "bless you"ed all over his bib!"

From my "4 yr old-going on 24 yr old" Tess: She walked in holding an old ugly yellow hair scrunchee and said to Bryan, "Dad, I've come to a realization. I don't think I'm ever going to wear this spongee. I think I would like to give it to mom."

Tess: "Tonight is bath night, right? Because yesternight was not bath night."

Tess came in and told me that the dinner in the oven smelled really good. Then she said “Mom, can I just have ONE bite of that smell?”

Miles started saying "Hi, buddy!" to me today.
