Tiny Talk Tuesday

Tiny Talk Tuesday helps parents focus on one of the many joys of parenting - the funny things that our little ones (and sometimes big ones) have to say.

Join in the fun and record the Tiny Talk overheard in your house! Publish a post on your blog and link us to the laughs. Then be sure to link to the blog carnival on this post so more bloggers can join in the fun.

The guidelines can be found here if you need them.

T (age 6): I REALLY want a violin! I have wished for it my whole life!
Daddy: I have never heard you wish for one before. Has it been a secret dream of yours?
T: DADDY! I just REALLY want a violin…and some fake nails.

Daddy, K (age 8) and D (age 4) burst out laughing. (She has seen fake nails at the mall earlier in the day that she really really wanted...but Daddy wasn't there for that so this was even funnier and more random to him)

T spent the night with my mom...

Grandma was reading facts about Puffins out loud from the back of the Puffins cereal box. One fact was that the Puffins usually lay only one egg per year and they usually keep the same mate ever season.

Of course, T wasnted to know what that meant. Grandma told her that birds don't have weddings like humans and promise to stay with the same person.

T responded, "I know. They sleep together one night...and then (shrugged her shoulders) I don't know?"

*Made us laugh because the whole idea that they "sleep together one night" sounds like she knows more than she does...but she doesn't.

My dad harrasses D by calling him by his name in Spanish. His name is David and my dad pronounces it "Dah-veed". This drives David crazy and he yells at Poppy..."NO! I am NOT Dah-veed."

The other night my parents came over to surprise D (age 4) by taking him to their house for a sleepover. (He LOVES it when it is his turn)

Grandma: I think it is someone's turn to sleep at my house tonight...who is that?
D: (jumps off the sofa) DAVID! It's my turn!
Grandma: It's David's turn?
Poppy: Dah-veed!
D: It's my turn. (turns to Poppy) And you can call me Dah-veed, OK Poppy?

*It was so cute He was so excited that he was willing to let Poppy call him the name he doesn't like

Grandma: You're my buddy, D.
D: Yeah. You can be my buddy.
Grandma: (realizing that is the term his daddy uses, feels a pang of guilt, not wanting to take Daddy's place) Daddy is your buddy too.
D: no. I told Daddy to stop the other day and he didn't wait for me, so he is not my buddy anymore.
