Hocks vs Peahocks

The family is driving down the road and a giant shadow passes over our car on a very sunny day.  We all look out the windows to see what it is. 

To our amazement, we see a very large hawk that has flown directly between our car and the sun casting said shadow. 

Upon watching the giant bird soar through the sky Caleigh remarks,

"I don't like hocks.  I only like peahocks.  I like it when they are on the ground, though. I don't like peahocks when they fly."


What causes her little brain to think of peacocks whenever we see a hawk is beyond me.  But, when she speaks with such sincerity, it is very hard for Chad and I to keep our composure and not laugh.

Hurt Pants!

I can't believe I haven't thought to put this on here sooner!!!!  It is a trademark Caleigh phrase!

When I was younger, if I ever got a spanking, my dad and mom called it "red hams". 

When Caleigh was much younger but could already make small sentences, she told us one day that she did not want to get "hurt pants."  We understood this to mean a spanking.

To this day, Caleigh still refers to a spanking as "hurt pants" and so do we! 

"Bi-knock-clee-ears"

Enough said.

Flipity flips

Flipity flips are known to the rest of the world as frisbees. However, Caleigh's continued love of the character Wubzy from the show Wow Wow Wubzy still provides her with some vocabulary that is authentic to Wuzzleberg!

Idditated

Caleigh shouts out "I'm so idditated!"

I say "You mean irritated?"

She says "No, idditated!"

I ask what that means.

She states, "It's when you are throwing something and your hands get tired!"

Um, ok!

Fencing

Caleigh: "Mom, come in here quick!  Look what's on! Hurry!"

Me: (hurrying to living room) "What is it?"

Caleigh: "It's Olympic Space Hitting!"

Me: (laughing)"That's called fencing, not space hitting!"

Caleigh: " OHHHH!  Well, what is space hitting then?"

Me: "I have no idea!"

"Harbee's"

The other day, Chad, Caleigh and I were out running some errands.  Lunch time came around and we were hungry!  Chad suggested we go to Arby's and grab something to eat.  Caleigh didn't like that idea.  So, we asked her what she wanted. 

She looked up and saw a billboard for Hardee's. 

She proudly proclaimed she wanted "Harbee's".  Chad and I laughed.  I told her that there was no such place.  There was a Hardee's and and Arby's but not a "Harbee's."

To this she chuckles and says "Oh! Guess you better put that on my Quips!" 

LOL!  What have I done to this child?  LOL
