So there I was standing at the refrigerator with my two three year olds asking them what they wanted for lunch. And as usual I got a string of "I want dat" to like everything in the refrigerator. So I open the freezer and give them a choice of taquitos or pizza. And as always Blythe says "I want pizta-quitos" and Bresse says "I dont likt dat". So I say you get either pizta or quitos. And after several minuets of jiber they settle on pizta. I put the pizta in the microwave and get asked at least 10 times about the pizta. And as I stood there cutting up the pizta I realized that I was talking just like them. Pizta, quitos, hungy.... And i wondered how often i talked like my three year olds and how strange people must think I am out in public. I can just see it.. there I am at the grocery store my kids asking for a cootie and and me standing at the bakery asking them " you want m&m cootie, or peanut butter cootie" or at the restaurant when they say i hungy me responding back " you hungy?" Oh the looks I must get. It will be interesting to see just how often i do that now that I am conscious of it. While I am sure that I am not the only parent who does this I do in fact find it very amusing.

Oooohh, I can so relate! I always walk through the store saying, "we'll get the noonies in a minute. we're not to the noonies yet. which noonies do you want?" It's ridiculous. By the way, noonies is his word for fruit snacks. he can say fruit snacks, and does, but would rather call them noonies... not sure why...
