Kidspeak

And this is why it’s so fun to eavesdrop.

Overheard in the playroom:

Tru: Mei mei, for you.

*gives her a hammer* – I don’t know what ever possessed him to do this in the first place

Kirsten: Than Tew…

*proceeds to thump him on the head with said hammer*

Tru: Ow, ow, ow!!

Kirsten: Hahahaha HAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHHAHA

I have a sadist and a masochist in the same house; some might say they’re a match made in heaven.

***

Overheard in the back seat of the car:

Tru: Mommy can I have the phone please, please?

Kirsten: PHONE!! I WANT! I WANT!! peas, peas.

me: *audible sigh* Nobody gets the phone because you both obviously haven’t learnt to share.

Tru: *audible sigh* Ok… fine, fine, fine.

Kirsten: *audible sigh* Findfindfinddddd

My clone actually has his own clone.

***

Overheard in the bedroom:

Kirsten: Mood Mormingg!

Tru: Good morning, mei mei, did you sleep well?

Kirsten: *nods vigorously* Seep well…HUGGGG

*runs after him for a hug*

Tru: I want gummy.

Non sequiturs – clearly another word for toddler-ese.

    How old is Kristen? They are both soooooo sweet. Reading your blog gives me a lil more hope that I’ll be able to cope when # 2 comes. Thanks.

      She’s turning 16 months soon. It’s definitely way more fun with 2 kids and I think they enjoy each other’s company as well. The first 3 months are the toughest but past the 8-9 mth mark, it gets a lot easier.

      Haha oh man, there’s a lot more where that came from. It’s actually very fun to hear them interact because that’s when they say the funniest things.

    It’s really nice when they talk to each other in civilised tones! My 2 are at an age where proper conversations are minimal as they usually end up quarrelling! Treasure these moments :) but I think the boy-girl combi is less likely to be quarrelsome…

      I think they don’t have the retorts to quarrel yet. Mostly it just degenerates into screaming MINE after a while – very succinct.

    Haha, I love how Tru talks to his meimei! So gentlemanly and proper :)

      Haha I’m trying to indoctrinate him while I still can. When they are older I think they will refer to each other as “EH”.

    Tru is indeed such a ‘gentleman’… he sounded so grown-up!

    You guys must be doing something right with them having language skills like that! And I totally relate to the Peas Peas. I’m getting that a lot with Bubbles these days!

    Maybe record their conversations? My Mrs’ ringtone is “happy birthday”, the off-key rendition by my no2. It makes u remember how they “speak” last time (which was not too far back)
