Tiny Talk

October2010 138 

My goofy little boy, who has recently started putting his hands out to his sides while spinning around and around in the living room…

“Hey mom, when I spin and spin and spin, the living room spins too!”

----

Heading to Walgreens today…

Alex:  Mom, what road are we on?

Mom: Halleck Street

Alex:  ALEX Street?! 

Mom:  No, sweetie, Huh-huh-Halleck Street

Alex:  Ha-ha-Alex Street!

(I gave up.)

--------

Pulling out of Walgreens parking lot today…

Alex: Mom, where are we going?

Me:  We’re going home to eat lunch.

Alex: Mom?  McDonalds is the other way…

Me:  We’re not going to McDonalds, Alex. 

Alex: Well…I like Subway, too!

Me:  Alex, we’re going to eat lunch at home.

Alex, with a grumpy voice:  I don’t LIKE eating GROCERIES!

-------

Last week, at lunch, when I set a plate of macaroni & cheese in front of Alex…

I don’t want macaroni, Mom.  I’d rather have shrimp.
