Our kids, (like most kids) often say things that just nearly put us in stitches laughing at them. Caleb is at the age where he is becoming very expressive with his thoughts and trying to get them out. The poor lad has a lot of trouble pronouncing his”L” sounds and they come out with a “sh” sound instead. Caleb does not “love me” he “shoves” me. He doesn’t think he is a “little” guy, he refers to himself as just a “shittle” guy, and so on.
A few weeks ago he asked Stacy if he may have a water gun for his birthday. Stacy said, “sure buddy, I think we can get you a squirt gun.” The youngster promptly replied “thanks mom, I knew I could count on you.” Stacy began laughing at the little goof and Caleb said “I learned that on nansha.” What? Stacy asked. “Nansha!” he repeated, a little louder this time. Stacy asked the third time and this clearly frustrated our Caleb. “I can’t talk very good” he says. Then he says, you know – NA na na NA na na NA na na NA an na NA, NA na na NA na na” .. “Oh,” Stacy said, Bonanza!. “Yea,” he said, “Nansha.
A little while later, Caleb says (as seriously as anyone could be) “mom, if you drive me there; I can save the world.” This little guy has some big aspirations. You know something? I’ve a half a mind to drive him there just to see if he can.
