weinraub’s words

Ugly shirt

Daddy: “Becca, are you sure you want to wear an all-white outfit on a day you are going to paint?”

Becca: “It’s ok, Daddy. I’ll be careful.”

Daddy: “Well, how about you take one of my old, ugly shirts to wear over your existing shirt?”

Pause, while Becca thinks about it.

Becca: “How about that one?”, pointing to the shirt I am wearing.

Thanks a lot, Becca. Sheesh!

Sloganeering

Telling Becca about the importance of family, she came up with a family slogan: “Team Weinraub: we’re sleepy!”

Benjamin’s pivot

Benjamin: “Give it to me, I want it.”
Daddy: “Let Becca use it.”
Benjamin: “We should take turns.”
Daddy: “Well, that’s what we’re doing. You used it for a while. Now we give Becca a chance.”
Benjamin: “Hmmm, maybe we shouldn’t take turns.”

I LOL’d.

Look how big!

Benjamin: “Daddy, Becca, come look at how big my poopie is!”

That’s my boy!

Upper lip

Yesterday, Benjamin asked me “Daddy, what’s the name of the bumps between my lip and my nose?”

I had to look it up. [It appears to be called the philtrum and/or the paraphiltrum, though many sites differ on whether those terms refer to the whole area, the ridges, the valley, etc.]

Recall that some time ago, he expressed an interest in whether crocodiles have uvulas.

So proud of that kid.

Would you, could you?

Daddy: Would you, could you in a house?

Becca: I would not, could not, in a house.

Daddy: Would you eat them here or there? Would you eat them anywhere?

Becca: I do not like green eggs and ham. Now, please leave me alone.
