I can't wait to see this! I love seeing the differences in parenting between cultures, but even more than that, I love seeing the similarities. Like the beginning and the end: Kids fight the same, no matter where they're raised; and if we ever left Atticus alone in the bath, I'm positive that Piper would come in the sneak a drink (her full water bowl is always her last resort. No, I don't know why.)
"Water goes in the Mommy's mouth, down the conveyor belt, dump, and then SQUISH."
"Mommy, I'm so freezer! Atticus needs blanket."
"I want fourteen chocolate milks, please."
Look! It's a green front end loader! Dumping the trash!" (he was completely accurate, by the way)
"Watch muffins? "What?" "Watch muffins?" "I don't... what? Muffins?" "Watch muffins!!" "We don't have any muffins... are you hungry? What are muffins?" "WATCH MUFFINS." "..... Muppets?'' "Okay!"
"Mmmmmm lay down in the ice cream! It's nice!"
"Okay, let's wash our hands! Scrub a dub dub!" "Wash a tub tub!! Wash a tub tub!!"
After seeing the propane truck int he driveway "Holdee cow!! Mighty Machine!!!!!"
Jane: "BUNNY! BUNNY! BUNNY! BUNNY! BUNNY! BUNNY!" (said after hearing the first 3 notes of the Hopla Song)
"You gotta stay back!! I'm getting more chips!!"
"AURGH!! Atticus, what do you need?!?" "... a cookie?"
Haircut? I need a haircut! Please?
Said repeatedly at the dinner table "Bye Pa! See you tomorrow! Going to the beach!"
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! TREVOR.
In the middle of puking (he had the flu) "Excuse me! Excuse me!" I may be over-emphasizing politeness.
"You puke on my head?"
"Hello Kitty? Are you there Kitty? Kitty are you hungry, Kitty?"
Mommy: "Should we chase down that trash truck so you can look at it?" Atticus: "DO IT."
Daddy: "Say good-night Mommy" Atticus:"See you tomorrow Mommy!" Daddy: "Say good-night Daddy" Atticus: "See you tomorrow Daddy!" Daddy: "Tell Mommy you love her" Atticus: "See you tomorrow Trash!"
