Jeremiah says....

I'm stealing a page from our friends Amanda and Gabi here and I have also taken a suggestion from multiple friends who recommended I start a diary of funny things Jeremiah says (thank you Miss Diane and Miss Georgeann). Here are three for your enjoyment....

scenario: riding in the car with PawPaw and MawMaw. MawMaw is venting over one of Great-Grandmothers doctors and going on for sometime (or so apparently Jeremiah feels)

MawMaw: (sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher) whompwhompwhompwhomp
Jeremiah: Hey hey hey MawMaw - just give it a rest.
MawMaw: Jeremiah that is not very nice and you shouldn't say that to other people. :)

scenario: Jeremiah is walking through our den just as a commerical for Billy the Exterminator comes on and Billy says "Holy Crap!!!!"

Jeremiah: Mama what did Billy say?
Mama: I'm not going to repeat it but it wasn't nice and we don't say it.
Jeremiah: What did Billy say Mama?
Mama: Okay Jeremiah I will say it but you need to understand that it is not nice and we don't say it. Billy said "Holy Crap" which is NOT nice and we DON'T say it!

Later at dinner Jeremiah looks at me and says, "Mama why can't we say Howdy Crab?"
Mama (after I pick myself up off the floor from laughing) Jeremiah you CAN say Howdy Crab to any crab you meet.

scenario: I am doing dishes in the kitchen with arms up to my elbows in dishwater and I hear suspicious sounds coming from the bathroom. The potty chair is moving around quite a bit and there is water running.

Mama: Jeremiah what are you doing?
Jeremiah: whomp whomp whomp whomp (Charlie Browns teacher again)
Mama: Jeremiah I can't hear you what are you doing?
Jeremiah: (says something at decibel level to high to be understood.)
Mama (dries off her hands and starts towards the bathroom) Jeremiah Avery Gosney I asked you what you are doing??!!
Jeremiah (jumping out of the bathroom and placing right hand on his hip and shaking finger at me) I tell you one time and I tell you two times I AM CLEANING OUT MY POTTY!!!!! and I don't want to have to tell you again (walks away shaking head and muttering, "I tell you over and over again)

Its soooo humbling to see your three and a half year old do such a great impression of you - lets me know EXACTLY what I look like when I tell him the same thing.
