G-Man's Vocabulary has been growing by leaps & bounds. Sometimes it is so hard to keep a straight face when he is trying out these new words & phrases.
Here are just a smattering (I like that word...smattering) of what we hear every day with their translation:
"I wanna walk by by lone" = by myself
"Can I play the plinkto?" = piano
"I wanna pway wif dat stwetchers." = May I play with the tape measure?
"Where my siwkey bwanket?" = Father, may I please have my silk-trimmed blanket?
"Where dem Matchers?" = Where are the Match Game Cards?
"Twawer" = Trailer
"Shewiff" = Sherriff
"To Infity and Beyond"= infinity.
"Dwagon Witen" = Dragon Lightnin' McQueen
(Please go to Disney.Cars.com & watch Tokyo Mater short film, especially if you have boys)
Speaking of boys, only mothers of boys will understand the following:
"Butt Fasher" = Butt Smasher
(We are working on the Butt, I know it's inappropriate. Please don't judge. He crawls up on our back & jumps up in the air, landing with one leg on each side of our butt/bottom/hiney. It looks like something from the World Wrestling Federation. You have to see it to understand, but imagine something one of the wrestlers would do off of the top ring. Can you say Redneck?)
Also, he requests songs in the car by the first lines of the lyrics.
For example:"Mama Tode Me" =Simple Man (Mama Told Me, when I was young)
By the way, If you want a good lullaby, look this one up on YouTube. If you can ignore the whole Lynard Skynard thing, it's really perfect for a little boy.
"Twinkle, Twinkle Widow Staaaar"= well, you know..
"Mama, want Pwan Motor Wes." = Route 66 (If you ever plan to motor west...)
"ShaBoom, ShaBoom" No explanation.
"Life a Highway" = Life is a Highway.
(Have I ever told you that he LOVES the movie CARS?)
He also asks for the songs on the soundtrack by describing the scene from which they play:
"Pway da one where Witen & Sawey are dwiving in da water faw" = Lightning & Sally, waterfall
"Frank"= Where Mater & Lightnin' are Tractor Tippin' & get chased by Frank the Combine.
"Da Big Race" = The Big Race at the end of the movie.
He's kinda scary sometimes. I'm waiting for him to ask me if it's 4 o'clock, time for Wapner. I'm not making light of Autistic/Savants by any stretch of the imagination. Seriously he scares me. He remembers stuff that happened WAY too long in the past. Stuff you tell him just 1 time, it's stuck with him forever.
He's a pretty incredible kid.
(Even when he is out of bed for the 8th time from his new Toddler Bed)
It's.....
you guessed it....
a "Witen Queen" bed.
