The things he says... part 472

Or somewhere around there.

I never cease to be amazed and amused at the things that come out of the boy's mouth. And he is amazing these days, a full conversation partner with this amazing memory and adorable lapses of grammar that don't in the least affect comprehension of his message but rather make it more fun to listen to...

But this post is in honor of some things he's been saying for a while, the sort of things which seem like such a part of his repertoire that he'll say them forever. Except he won't say them forever. So here they are.

*Conversations about "minos": As we drive along, he (of course) point out every motorcycle he sees. Then, invariable he asks Nat, "Do you WANT it, dad? Do you want THAT mino??" And he likes for Nat to say yes, and then, every time, he says either, "But somebody else is riding it," (if it's being ridden" or "But somebody else is going to ride it" (if its parked) or "But somebody won't give you money for it" (if it's for sale). With the saddest, most sympathetic tone to his voice. Every time. Poor daddy, all the constant disappointment. At least he has Jack to console him.

To be continued. I have so much more to capture about him. As always. But bedtime calls. As always.
