“That’s him penis”. (Yes, we’ve had the “that’s his penis” discussion …already).
“OH SHIT! Oh Shit. Oh Shit. Oh Shit.”
“Mommy, you going pee-pee? Yes? (nods head). Ok. I wipe you when your done”. (smiles)
“I don’t want Daddy to go to that work anymore. I like the babies I have”.
“Mommy, you body stinky.“ (Yeah, thanks for that little tid-bit of information!)
Yes, these are just a few of the phrases I’ve heard this past week. All of these phrases came out of the blue, as phrases from children often do.
I’ve decided to start keeping a record of these “ ‘isms ” as I call them, as my memory falters with too much to do, too much to recall, there are some things that we just can’t let pass us by.
Can you guess who said what? Do you have any ‘isms that have stuck with you? Listen for ‘isms around you and we’ll compare notes soon….

I love the things kids come up with. I try to write them down when they say something good because I know I’ll forget. Caitlin’s latest was a commercial for growing upside down tomatoes. She told us that we should get the Topsy Turvy tomatoes because they take out the back breaking work of tomato planting. She is a sponge.
I’ve always loved the pure honesty of children and the lack of a filter. Once those filters are in place, you sort of know you’ve lost your “baby”…
Secret Mom Thoughts~ It’s funny what commercials stick with them too. Who knew Caitlin would be at all paying attention to that one…she does have a point thought. LOL.
Talon~ Children’s honesty is both refreshing and not. LOL.
Yes, the pearls of childhood wisdom are wonderful. My family has many of these ‘isms that we keep alive through oral history. Usually at the dinner table with relatives present. One such ‘ism occurred back when EJ was five. I was exiting the shower when he glanced down at my nether regions. He jumped back in fear and exclaimed, “Spider!!” …That little bit of honesty has turned me into a personal grooming freak. But hey, I guess it had to be told.
Michele T.~ LOL!!!! I can’t imagine that you’ve shared this around the relative dinner table? I’ll be thinking twice before I post more things about my fear of spiders. I don’t want you to b
Oh how wonderful! Will be so precious to look back over these in years to come, for sure.
Well a couple of weeks ago Kelly said someone had worn a good luck “omelette” around their neck.
Jannie~ LOL. There are days I’d love to eat a good luck omelet, that’s for sure. Too cute!
AH! AH! I have an ‘ism’ for ya!

Me: What are you doing?

Logan: God.
Me: [Thinking: Ok...what is she asking for?]
