Kid Speak

Little kids have their own words for things.  I put those words in one of three catagories:
1) completely understood from the first usage and makes total sense
2) once you know what the child is talking about the word(s) used make complete sense and are logical
3) not understood at all until the child can speak more clearly

In our house, the catagory the boys "speak" falls into most often is 2: once you know what they are talking about everything makes sense.  I can tell they are thinking and using those little brains.  Below are some examples.  I am only going to give you what the boys call things and see if any of you can guess what Pach and Pick are actually talking about.  In a later post I'll give you the correct titles and names for everything.

Cars, Cars and more CARS!!!

How many cars can one child or two children have?  Is there a limit of how many is too many?  Or can a little boy never have too many cars?  I was thinking about this the other day as the boys sat on the floor in front of their couch playing cars.  Their couch was totally covered with cars and there were a lot more they weren't even playing with!  I decided I wanted to find out how many cars they had, so I took an inventory.  It is not totally accurate but it does give you an idea of how many cars I am talking about.

There are so many and they fight over the EXACT same car that every couple weeks I have to go through and divide them up.  Their favorites: Lightning McQueen or as Pach calls him "99 Ka-Chow" or sometimes "1999 Ka-Chow" (not sure where he came up with that name), Mone (Ramone), Dirty (AKA Mater), Missile (AKA Finn McMissile), Cesco (Francesco Bernoulli) and then all the other race cars from both movies.

CARS cars: 106
Toy Story cars: 10
Hotwheels/Other: 123
TOTAL:  239 (give or take a few)
