Translation of Little Man-darin

JW's verbal creations are so fascinating. :)

Many l's sound like w's, so...
Bawoon=Balloon
Ba-wimp=Blimp
Wowa=Lola

Construction site-ers=construction workers

I have the snorts=My nose is stuffy

Pan-panks=pancakes

Rivo=Tivo

Fast Forward Food=fast food

Sneeze=Bless-You (As in, "Daddy, Cody just Bless-you'd all over my panpanks!")


And it's amazing the way his logical little mind works. Here's the newest funny:

J: "Mama, I don't like Sundays."

M: "Why, honey?"

J: "Because they're too HOT."

(get it? SUNdays.)


But my favorite (at least in this case...not always) is when something comes out of this mouth that sounds exactly like what he's heard Mama or Daddy say. The other day I emerged from the bathroom with makeup on for once, my hair blown dry, and a new shirt on. My first-born looked me up and down and proclaimed, "Mama, you look STYLIN' today!" Now what better compliment is there than that? (backdated 2/23/2006)
