Little Things

1. "raw" is a word that Ben has been using for the last 6 months or so. Annie has started using it also. "I do not think it means what you think it means." raw=plain So, tonight I was putting away leftovers (pumpkin pancakes - yummy!) and asked Andy if he would like some for breakfast and if he could just eat them 'raw.' He looked at me for a minute. "Oh! I mean plain! You know what I mean!"

2. "tator tot" is another Ben-word that Annie has also incorporated into her vocabulary. A 'tator tot' is a shirt without sleeves; some might call it a tank top, but NOT at our house! This one brings a smile to my face, so I don't correct it. :)

3. "o-tay Mom" is Emily's favorite phrase. "Emily, stop eating the pancake batter." o-tay Mom "Emily, don't put your fingers in the raw meat!" o-tay Mom "Emily! Don't eat those eggs! They haven't been cooked yet, and you'll get sick!!!!" o-tay Mom Seeing a pattern here???? That child sneaks more food than the rest of us combined!

4. How does one keep a toilet seat warm??? Annie and I keep freezing our tushes off! No wonder she keeps trying to pee standing up!

5. How does one keep a nose warm? Between our noses and our backsides, it's getting a bit uncomfortable around here!!!
