Who’s on first?

Overheard while RegularDad and the girls were playing with the walkie-talkies:

6-year-old: DAD! I’m…in…the…livingroom!!! OVER!!!

RegularDad: Copy that.

6yo: …what?

Me (distantly, from the bedroom:) That means ‘okay’.

6yo: Oh, okay. Over!

RD: How is it in the livingroom? Over.

6yo: It’s great! Curious George is just starting. Over!”

RD: Curious George is starting over? Over.

6yo: No Dad! It’s not starting over, it’s just…STARTING! Over!!!

RD: I though it just started. Over!

6yo: DA-AAAD!!!  Over!

RD: Copy that. Over.

    LMAO! Sounds like conversations at my house too. Dad helps develop vocabulary by initiating confusing conversations and forcing the kids to use different words. Example: “I’m thirsty.” Dad-”No, you’re Riley.” Riley-”I’m thirsty too.” Dad-”No, you’re Riley, and you’re three, not two.” Riley(with disgusted sighing)-”Dad! I’m thirsty ALSO!”

    Yep, that sounds about right. Conversations like this are the reason I taught the girls to say: “DA-AAAD!!!”

    And all on her own, my 4-year-old developed the ability to give RegularDad THAT LOOK and say: “Stop it!” in a total no-nonsense tone of voice. :)

    I just love that! I recently told Pete the “Pete and Repeat joke”, you know “they are sitting on the log and Pete fell off, who’s left?” It took him answering “Repeat” 5 times before he decided something fishy was going on. My hubby and I laughed a good one at that. The stern look on Pete’s face was priceless.
