A few amusing phrases we’ve heard recently…
* Yesterday afternoon I walked the kids to the library and then to the farmers market where we met Andrew for dinner. At the farmer’s market Julia and I picked out a few gourds to use to decorate the house. She’s been excited about this for weeks and each time we’ve planned on going pumpkin picking it has rained. So this was a compromise but she was excited to finally have some kind of pumpkin. When we got home I handed the brown paper bag of five gourds to carry in the house. She hefted it up, walked towards the house, muttering to herself about how heavy the bag was but when she went through the door Andrew and I clearly heard her say “these gourds are freaking me out!”
* At school on Tuesdays Julia learns sign language. For the past few weeks they have been learning signs for colors. So on the ride home today I was asking her about the signs she learned; she showed me orange and black and told me that they didn’t learn green or blue, then I asked if they had learned purple and her response was “I have to think about that Mom, ok?”
* Continuing with the sign language conversation at lunch I asked Julia if she knew the sign for red. This was the rest of the conversation:
J: I’m not sure, do you know it?
Me: No
J: Why not?
Me: I’m not in your class, so I didn’t learn it
J: You need to find an adult school, Mom
