Earth

Tonight after dinner, Buggy Bug gave me a big hug and said:

Buggy Bug: Mommy, I love you. On. the. earth.

I don't know what on. the. earth. means, but I'll take it.

Freeze

I was debating on whether to post this one or not, after a day, I decided to just do it because 1) It's Zokey and 2) It wouldn't be funny next year.

My kids love Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go! On Go Diego Go, there are these two monkeys that cause trouble for Diego, kind of like Swiper on Dora, anyway, when you see these two monkeys, you're supposed to say, "Freeze, Bo Bos!"

So, we were teaching Zokey how to say, "Freeze, Bo Bos!" This is what she ended up saying:

Zokey: "Freeze, Butt!"

She still can't say Bo Bos. So, I think we're going to hold off on teaching her that until she says it the right way. However, I think Buggy Bug is trying to teach her behind my back.

Crazy

We were driving in the car and Buggy Bug kept interrupting Hubby's and my conversation, so after a while whenever she would ask Hubby a question, he would answer with a "MmmHmm." For those of you who are parents, you know how that is. Anyway, Buggy Bug likes real answers, so after a few "MmmHmm's" from Hubby she said:

Buggy Bug: Daddy, stop saying, MmmHmm, you make me drive crazy!
Me: What? Your dad's driving crazy? Which doesn't make sense because Hubby drives below the speed limit.
Sonny: His sisters' translator said: "No, she means, you're driving her crazy."

Oh...

Wallet

The Tahoe quote reminded of one that Sonny said when he was three or four years old. We were on our way to the church building and it was night time. We saw a man crossing the street.

Sonny: Mommy, why is that man walking?
Me: Well, maybe he doesn't have a car.
Sonny: Why doesn't he have a car?
Me: Well, maybe he doesn't have enough money to buy a car, that's why he has to walk.

He was quiet for a few minutes...that's usually how I can tell my kids are thinking. After a minute or so, here's what he said:

Sonny: Sooo....he's walking at night without a wallet?

Really, I can't make this stuff up!

Dadda

Sonny and Buggy Bug like to get rough with each other sometimes. Buggy Bug recently got a pair of Socker Boppers (inflateable boxing gloves) for her birthday and they both just love them. Usually, they get one each and go at each other for a few minutes. But here's what happened yesterday:

Sonny: Here, Buggy Bug, you can wear both of them and then try to hit me.

Buggy Bug puts them on and with a big smile on her face, looks at Sonny and says, "Oh yeah, come to Dadda."

Where in the world did she get that from? I'm telling you, my kids make me chuckle every day.

Tahoe

Buggy Bug: Mommy, where does Santa Claus live?
Me: The mall.
Buggy Bug: No he doesn't. Remember we saw him somewhere else?
Me: Oh, you mean when we went to Lake Tahoe?

We saw and spoke with Santa for a good 10 minutes when we went to a Lake Tahoe resort in 2006.

Buggy Bug: Yes, Santa lives in Tahoe.

There you go people, Santa lives in Tahoe.

Honey

I've noticed that I've mainly quoted Sonny and Buggy Bug, but now that Zokey is starting to talk a little bit more, she's going to be a regular pretty soon.

As soon as Hubby walks through the door after work, all the kids run up to him, but here's what Zokey says:

Zokey: Hi Honey, hon, hon, hi honey!

Here's how we know she understands what we're saying.

Hubby: Hey, I'm not your honey! I'm Mommy's honey!

Zokey: With a laugh: "Hi, Daddy!"




I love it when kids mispronounce words. Here are some of the names that Zokey mispronounces:



Hi Marmo! Hi Marlo!

Poo-Poo! Winnie the Pooh. Sorry, Susan if you're reading this, it's too cute to correct her.

Pa-Pa! For Grandpa--I know this is a common one, but it's still cute.

Hi Jay Day! For her cousin Jayden.




Lastly, here are some things that me and the older two find funny. Whenever she drops something on the floor, she gets mad at herself and says:



Zokey: Ooooooooh, seeeeeeeee?



And whenever one of the other two hurt her, I make them apologize to her, but as they're saying sorry, she says sorry too and does the sign language for it:

Zokey: Soy-eeee.. As she rubs her hand over her belly in a circular motion and the sweetest "sad" look on her face.

Yes, people, you will be hearing more from her before you know it.

Out

We love watching American Idol with the family. The kids have their favorites. This was this week's performance that we are talking about.

Jason Castro was up singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the judges raved about him afterwards, but right at the beginning here's what Buggy Bug said:

Buggy Bug: Oh Mommy, he's out.

Next we are watching David Archuleta, who sang "Angels."

Buggy Bug: Oh, he is in. She says this as she nods her head in approval. "I like him."

She also said that Syesha Mercado was out. Let's see if she's right.

Friend

This isn't a funny quote, but it's so sweet that I just had to post it.

One of our friend's kid is in the hospital. He's very sick and I finally told the kids about it last night. I explained that he was sick and that he was in the hospital.

Buggy: With her eyes wide open: Hey, he's my friend.
Me: Yes, you played with him before.
Buggy Bug: Then we have to pray for him a lot, a lot, a lot of times.

I praise God that my kids know that it's going to be Him that brings her friend through this trial. And we will pray for him a lot, a lot, a lot of times.

Nose

Buggy Bug comes to my room looking miserable and kind of fake-crying.

Me: What's the matter?

She doesn't answer and just keeps fake-crying.

Me: Buggy Bug, please don't have a bad attitude, you just woke up.

Buggy Bug: My nose is the matter. *sniff-sniff*
