Since AE has entered another cycle of continuous talking, he’s cracking us up with even greater frequency than usual. And he always has an opinion, no matter the subject.
AE: I want to watch a movie! Will you put in the Garfield movie for me?
AE: [five minutes later] I’m done watching the movie now.
Me: For crying out loud, AE, why can’t you sit down and watch a movie like a normal kid? What is your deal?
AE: That’s just the kind of kid I am.
*****
Miss T: [belches loudly]
Me: Such a lady.
AE: Ladies don’t burp, do they, Mommy? I’ve never heard you burp.
Me: That’s right, AE. I don’t burp.
AE: Miss T burps. But she’s a baby lady. They are impolite.
*****
AE: Yay yay yay! Hummus! I love hummus!
Me: Do you?
AE: Want to know how much I love hummus? I love hummus more than everything.
Me: I see. I’m glad you like it.
AE: I love hummus more than video games.
*****
AE: I know how to speak Japanese.
Me: You do? That’s pretty impressive. Where did you learn to speak Japanese?
AE: I didn’t learn. I just know.
Me: Interesting. So, what is the Japanese word for goodbye?
AE: …
Me: Sayonara.
AE: Sayonara? No, I’m pretty sure that’s French.
*****
AE: So, I know why 5 isn’t a lucky number.
Me: It isn’t a lucky number? Why is that?
AE: Because it isn’t the answer to very many problems.
Me: Problems…?
AE: Division problems.
Me: Oh. Are you learning about division at school?
AE: Yes, and addition and subtraction, but I already know how to do those.
Me: What about multiplication?
AE: We are learning how to do times.
Me: That is the same thing. Are you learning your times tables?
AE: It is not exactly the same. Times is harder than multiplication. Like the World Series in baseball.
*****
AE: Did you know that I can read an entire book after I go to bed, without a nightlight?
Me: I did not know that.
AE: Well, I can only do it at Nonna’s house.
Me: [well aware that Nonna leaves a light on for him] Really? So you can see in the dark now? That’s a nice skill to have. How did that happen?
AE: [shrugging dismissively] I guess I’ve been eating a lot of vitamin A.
I’m glad to see that N’s love for baseball has rubbed off on AE!!
HAHAHAH. “I’m pretty sure that’s French.” Hee!
Oh, he’s going to be so disappointed when he later finds out that ladies do indeed burp and *GASP* even fart. Although some will disappear to do it. Or maybe that disqualifies them from being called ladies…
Vitamin A??? hahahahahahahahahaha
He sounds like a smart (and funny) kid!
