Jacob is at the perfect age to keep us extremely entertained simply by opening his mouth. Every day it’s something. And last week was no exception.
Jacob – “We learned
about letter H today at school.”
Me – “Oh yeah,
what did you learn about the letter H?”
Jacob – “We learned
about hot like when you love somebody.”
*Brian and I
glance nervously at one another*
Me – <concerned>
“Hot like when you love somebody? What do
you mean?”
Jacob – “No, not
hot… HOT!”
Me – “Hot?”
Jacob – “Not hot…
HOT!!”
Brian – “Hot? Hawt?”
Jacob –
<frustrated> “NOT HOT… HOT!!!!”
*Brian and I
glance up at the ceiling and all around the room as if waiting for a tiny
translator to pop out to save the day*
Me – “OHHHH… HEART?!”
Jacob – “YES! HOT!”
*Brian and I –
relieved that we don’t have to answer any birds and bees questions from a
toddler*
The moral of
the story: We must teach this boy how to pronounce his Rs.
Ha ha, hilarious!! We have so many moments like this but this is by far the best misunderstanding, LOL
ReplyDeleteHaha. I was so relieved when I realized he wasn't saying, "hot."
DeleteL to the O to the L! So funny! This conversation seems all too familiar! I always try to understand what my kids are saying, even if it takes multiple questions and several hours! Hahaha! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I know! It went on forever! I totally shortened it for the blog because it seemed to go on forever. Brian and I were just totally clueless.
DeleteI totally just laughed out loud at this. One of my co-workers has some amazing "things kids say" stories. I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a doll - days must never be boring!
ReplyDeleteThis is too cute. I'm glad you could finally decode what he was saying, what relief it was heart!
