Some of Bub’s favorite phrases of late:
1. “Pop si pooko pooko” Translation: Popsicle. Also, “pop si pooko pooko” is the password for entering the fort he makes with the couch cushions.
2. “Get it out.” Said when Baby Boy is clamoring to be fed and while pointing to my chest. A related popular phrase is "Baby Boy eat mommy boobies." How's that for calling it as he sees it?
3. “I lofve it.” There was a stick of butter on the table for corn on the cob. The Bub picked up the butter, took a bite, and asked “What’s dis?” “Butter,” Grammy replies. “I lofve it,” Bub declares.
4. “No, thank you.” Common response to the question “What would you like for dinner/lunch?”
5. “I want something better.” Phrase used most commonly in negotiating his snacks. We might start with some raisins or goldfish crackers, but then he’ll come back at us, requesting “something better” (see “pop si pooko pooko” above). The other day, we were at Dairy Queen, truly the pinnacle of the “something better” food chain, and the hubby lifted Bub up to place his order. Instead of saying “twist with ‘spinkles,’” Bub simply said, “I want something better.” Don’t we all, kid?

I guess most of us go through life always wanting something better. That bub is very perceptive to figure it out and articulate to express it. What's best is that at age two, you can get away with telling it like it is. Better record the little voice saying popsicle, you think you will, but you'll never remember it exactly. m
Those are very cute!
I also do that with butter. Yum.
Heartwarming to hear that the Bub has taken a leadership role with respect to the needs of Baby Boy.
Regional dialect difference: in the Greater Philadelphia region, "sprinkles" are called "jimmies." Imagine the how silly/twisted yours truly appears when she periodically slips up and asks for jimmies on her sundae when outside of her home territory. Yikes.
Have you considered writing a book about this stuff? Seriously. It's hilarious!
wow. even with a bossy two year old, and an infant eating your boobs, you still manage to crack me up. thanks again.
