Ethan Chandler

Shawn and I having a conversation with Ethan -

Shawn - "Did you go potty outside?"

Ethan - "No, I didn't pee outside."

conversation continues while Ethan keeps saying "pee" repeatedly.....

Melanie - "Say, urinate."

I repeat myself a few times because he does not obey.

Melanie - "Say, urinate."

Ethan - "I'm a ten."

Again I repeat myself...

Ethan repeats himself:
"I'm a ten."

It dawns on me that he thinks I am telling him to say he's an "eight" !!!

Urinate
Translation in Ethan's mind: You're an eight

The other day I told the boys to stop chewing like cows.
Ethan's response: "Oh, only animals chew like that?"

Ethan, who is used to seeing only round neck openings on shirts, was wondering about his daddy's V-neck T-shirt he was sporting.

Shawn: "It is so I can get my head in there."

Ethan: "Yeah, we have to have holes in our shirts so we can put our clothes on. If we don't have holes in our clothes, than we would have to go around naked, and that would be embarrassing!"

That's funny! My Keegan really doesn't do much more than jabber, but I'm looking forward to the fun days of talking.
