Last night as we sat around the dinner table one of our beautifully mannered boys "passed gas." As the kitchen turned into snorts of laughter our three year old little girl proudly announced that her brother's "booty burped." Again, being the proud mother of these wonderfully behaved children - I wasn't exactly sure what she said. "His what?" I asked. She laughed again and said, "Mommy! His Booty Burped!" How do they come up with these things? I understand that a lot of their expressions may come from tv or who knows where, but I don't know that "booty burps" have even been in the English language until last night.
One thing we have learned quickly with young children is that you have to discover a whole new way to speak. Take for instance our four year old. He would ask for the "witch" during meals for weeks and get so frustrated when absolutely no one knew what he meant. Finally one night during dinner he was eating a salad and sighed saying, "I love witch dressing so much."
Our second son would do the same types of things. Anytime we got in the car he would ask if we could try a new "haircut." We could literally leave the barber shop and get in the car, only to hear Ethan say, "Can we try a new haircut?" My husband and I would go bonkers. Sure enough, we were traveling to my Mom and Dad's house and happened to take a different way. Ethan got so excited and shouted from the back, "I love it when we take a new haircut Dad! Will we get there sooner now?" You have got to be kidding.
So, from "Booty burps" to "Witch Dressing" and haircuts, we'll continue to learn this new language. It's hard to imagine what they'll come up with next but I guess that's half the fur.
