Recently the conversations that I have with Caleb has become increasingly quirky. He has been saying the funniest and strangest things to me. I guess it's all part of him turning two and him wanting to assert and discover himself. He's been giving me and Daddy a few good laughs recently so I thought I should blog the things he's been saying.
Caleb: (points to a slice of pear which I cut for him) Mummy, don't eat this one huh, it's dirty.
Mummy: ok
Caleb: Later you eat the worms come and bite you.
Mummy: ???
Caleb and Mummy sharing a bowl of fruits. When we came to the last slice...
Caleb: Mummy! Don't eat the last one!
Mummy: Why not? When I finish the one in my hand, I can eat another one right?
Caleb: No Mummy. Later I take the last one and you take the bowl ok?
(Very generous of my son to leave the empty bowl for me...)
Once when we were putting on our shoes and getting ready to go out...
Caleb: Mummy, don't wear this shoe. Wear your slipper.
Mummy: No, I want to wear this shoe out. The colour of my shoes goes with my outfit.
Caleb: No, Mummy, it doesn't go! Your shoe not nice. The slipper nice. Look better.
Mummy: (a bit stunned by his response) The slipper look nicer?
Caleb: Yes, that one no good. This one good!
Mummy: (I went along with him in the end partly coz we were running late and he was so insistent and partly coz I was really amused by him) (Actually, this incident happened more than once. He's very insistent that I must wear slippers out all the time and he insists that it's nicer. Now I have to hide my slippers before going out so that he will not insist that I wear them.)
When we were driving in the car and listening to the radio...
Caleb: Mummy, I want my songs.
Mummy: Caleb, we're always listening to your songs. Let Mummy listen to my songs for a while ok?
Caleb: No Mummy. Your songs not nice. My songs nicer. It's better.
Mummy:???
Me and Daddy having a private conversation and I mentioned that I'll ask my mum to pick Caleb up from school. Caleb who was drinking his milk beside us interupted and said...
Caleb: Mummy, your mother going to pick me up from school tomorrow?
Mummy: (amused coz he has always addressed my mum as Ma-Ma) Yes, my mother is going to pick you up tomorrow.
Caleb: She's driving your car?
Mummy: No, she's driving her own car.
Caleb: Same model (as our car)?
Mummy: No, she drives a different model.
Me and Daddy having another private conversation in the car. I mentioned Daddy's name and Caleb, who was sitting quietly behind, pointed to Daddy and asked me....
Caleb: Mummy, that one is Ben?
Mummy: Yes, Caleb, your Daddy's name is Ben.
Caleb, taking his stickers and paper and trying to stick the stickers on the paper...
Caleb: Mummy, don't disturb me ok? I'm very busy.
Mummy:???
