Laughable Quotes

Pumpkinpie has been picking up some knowledge about pirates at daycare and from the other kids lately. So what has she learned? Well, pirate wear apparently includes pirate suits and pirate hats. And, of course, there is pirate talk -

"argh, matey"

And our current favourite mis-quote, so funny we havent' bothered to tell her what the real words are:

"Shimmery Timbits."

(Which may fall flat with my US friends - timbits are what our biggest donut store chain calls donut holes.)

-------------

She is also into mini-wheats for breakfast these days and has declared strawberry mini-wheats "yummier than ice cream sundaes." Which is pretty big talk for someone who lights up over sprinkles.

-------------

The adult turns of phrase these days are cracking me up, especially in her small, sweet voice. It seems like her language has taken a sudden leap in maturity, somehow, and it is also often accompanied by a gesture, look, or head tilt that only make it more comical.

Msterpie to Pumkinpie: What would you like for dinner tonight, sweetie?

Pumpkinpie replies: What were you thinking?

-------------

Love it! We can get Pumpkin to say "Argh, ya scurvy dog!" in a growly voice, but only if we're lucky. Talk Like A Pirate Day, here we come!

(Have you tried the blueberry mini-wheats? I think they're new; we just found 'em recently, but Pumpkin likes them as much as the pink ones.)

The Boy put his hand on my knee today and said "What's a bugger?" Oops. I'll have to watch my adult language, methinks.

I'm SO using "shimmery timbits". You know that, right?

Shimmery Timbits. That's hysterical.

Strawberry mini-wheats are the dog's bollocks, I have to agree with Pumpkinpie.

What a charmer!

Ice cream is just an excuse to hold sprinkles.

Next time I make it to Canada, my first stop will be to get timbits.
