L1 and L2 were sharing a bag of summer sausage/cheese/crackers during a recent road trip. I had given the ziplock bag to L2 and put him in charge of sharing.
Heard slightly later…
L2: It’s all gone…
L1: Let me check!
L2: Okay, you can check.
L1: I can’t check when you you’re holding it! Give it to me!
L2: No!
L1: GIVE IT TO ME!
L2: No, you won’t give it back!
L1: Yes, I will!
L2: No, you won’t!
L1: Yes, I will!
L2: No, you won’t!
Ad infinitum…..
DH enjoys Mexican food, so Taco Bell and Taco Tuesdays at Del Taco and our infamous free year of combo meals at Taco Bueno has ensure d that our boys have long been exposed to tacos and quesadillas.
Regardless, they can never remember what a taco is called. They know they don’t want a quesadilla (what I always used to order them), but can’t remember the word “taco.”
“Mommy, we want those yellow things,” they say, pointing to the menu.
It took a bit of trial and error, but we have verified that it is tacos they want. Last time at Taco Bueno, I ordered them a nacho platter to share. They ate it obediently after pointing out that it didn’t have the yellow things that daddy was eating.
But next time in Del Taco: “Mommy, we want those yellow things. Last time you got us something different. We don’t want something different. We want those yellow things.”
Thankfully, it was Taco Tuesday.
Funny quote for the day from L2 as we read the story of Jesus’ trial: “Pilate is in the Easter story and Pilate is on a ship and says ‘Argh!'”
L2: I love Elmo and Thomas and Percy… sometimes.
Me: G says g-g-g in g-grapes.
L2: And g-g-g in g-mooses!
L1: Mommy, my hiccups are not going away ever!
Me(upon finding L2 unwrapping roll of tape): L2! You’re not supposed get into things without permission!
L2: Mommy? May I get into things, please?
L1: The name is too long so we call it rice.
L2 (bemoaning the fact he was out of waffle): I don’t have more any left waffle.
L2 while riding along on Aunt L’s back on our return hike from Athabasca Glacier, sing-songing: Daddy is a raven, Mommy is a bear, Aunt L is a… [Beat] a elephant!
After more conversation L1 added that he was a turtle and L2 was a bird because of their hats.
