Ed-isms 2018

Telling me about a dream he had:

“There were kitties. Five ones. We were at a different house. My friend was stepping on one kitty. I don’t know her name is. The okitties were in a bag.  They were running."

“I don’t want to be a doctor. I want to be a missionary to Grandpa’s house in Spokane. I’m bringing Henry with me because I have room in my red airplane.”

“Can I come with you on your mission too?” asks Dad.

“Yes!”

“What will we do there?”

“We will push buttons.”

“How long will we be there?”

“20 minutes!”

Mom: I got a sunburn!

Ed: Its because the sun likes you. It wants to play with you!

June-isms 2017

Mom, do you know why your tummy’s hurting?  It’s because maybe I catched a cold on you.

J: Mom, one of my teachers has a jiggly neck.

M: Oh!  I hope you didn’t tell her that!

J:  (blank stare)

Oh, look.  It’s an elevator car (an Escalade).  

The church in Qatar smells like polish you put on your toes.

“Mom, I need to tell you a secret, but you’re going to be mad because it’s about love.”

“I hope I wouldn’t be mad about love.”

“Well, it’s that I love a boy named Abdulrahman.”

On her birthday: "Am I actually five? Because I don't, like, feel the number."

Ed-isms 2017

Ed had the girls’ dress-up wings on and fell off the little trampoline: “Butterfly fall down!"

With a onesie on his head when I went to get him out of bed: “Hat ON! Ho, Ho, Ho!”

"No way!" as a casual negative to everything...

"...right NOW!" As a casual demand

"How about..." as a preface to anything he wants.

"Bunder- ball" = basketball

Uh-dee-dee-dee-doo = excavator

Mom, reading in a bear voice..."Are you a man?"

Labendoo=lavender

"Two by two" (from Barnyard Dance) is "ba-doo, ba-doo."

"How bout me?"

"What's your name?"

"Me."

To mom or Dad when he's in our bed: 

"Hop in!"

Ed, what do you want on your hamburger?

"Pickles and...goat cheese!"

Knocking on his new helmet...

Dad: knock knock

Ed: who's there

Dad: Daddy

Ed: (pauses, scratching at his helmet)...but, it doesn't open!

After seeing a photo of himself as a baby (wearing a onesie)... “I’m wearing a panties t-shirt!”

-Ed, do you need a tissue?

-No, I’m just going to taste it.

To the security guard at the clubhouse: “Junie just smacked Mia’s bum.”

Every time we arrive at our destination...and with his usual enthusiasm...”Are we HE-OO?!?!” (Here)
