Owenisms #3


"Did you know that a long time ago there were some people who lived in China, and they could blow more bubbles in their water than monkeys. They have longer breaths than monkeys!"




"Mom, wouldn't you buy this?" (a snow globe)

I said, "No, I'm not ready to buy Christmas decorations yet."

He said, "Um, I think you are, babe." He definitely picks up on the way I talk.




Instead of will you, he keeps saying wouldn't you. It makes him so much harder to resist. "Wouldn't you get me some cheese and crackers?" "Wouldn't you let me sleep with you?" "Wouldn't you miss me while I'm in Taekwando?"


Exaggerating before bath: "You would not believe how stinky I am right now." Sniffs his armpit. "I don't want to tell you this, but I just have to. I smell like rotten corn." Sniffs again. "Seriously, if you come over here, you'll get this stink on you, and you DON'T want that to happen." Waves his hand in front of his nose.



Adding a lot of "Of course". "When I grow up I'm gonna be a doctor, a racecar driver, and ...of COURSE, an astronaut." "Terri makes her chili with little chocolates, marshmellows, and..of COURSE chocolate syrup." "Of course you need to take me to CMOE today." "Of course you can help me clean up my toys."



A new phrase that's cracking me up: "How'd ya like them apples."
