sayings

I've been collecting some of my favorite sayings from around our house. Some were one time lines that had me double over in laughter. Others were things so true that they have turned into normal language.

  • "poop slide": as in I asked T2 how he was doing in the bathroom and he replied, "Mommy, I've got the poop slides!" We still use this one.
  • "beans": the twins called change (quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies) beans for years. I always thought it made sense.
  • "The best kind of fun, is nonstop fun" Said while hoping mommy wouldn't make them go home and go to bed.
  • "let's go to the rocks, cars, or bars" T1 said this to T2 one day while we were outside and Dear Hubby  and I both said "What?" Apparently the rocks, cars, or bars on the front steps are very warm and good places to dry off after the pool.
  • "Can I stand in the corner again?" said by T1 who had just been released from his first and last time out in a corner.
  • "Do you have issues? I've got tissues!" from our stand up comic.
  • "selfish hairball" this is what T1 calls T2to make him really mad.
  • "huh" ok- so not so funny, but you must hear it come out of Little Man - the two year olds mouth - when we ask him to do something.
If we would listen to our kids, we'd discover that they are largely self-explanatory. ~Robert Brault

  7. Oddly enough, beans is one of our words too...how odd b/c I thought it was just one of the things that our twins have - a little quirk but apparnetly it's a twin thing? That's crazy. WE call anything around the house "bean". Ex.) "Landon, what are you playing with?" "Bean!"

    We have a couple of funny words... his bumbleeboo (his bum), poopeedoops (poops), chumblywumblys (his chunky toddler legs!).

  11. Haha! that is hilarious! I'm sure my family had many things like this when I was growing up. A more recent one is that we call VW vans "tour buses" because my mum called one that once.
