Conversations with a toddler, II

August 3rd, 2008 · 4 Comments · bridget, random

I’m convinced that someone could write an entire blog just of things toddlers say. An entry a day (or more) would be no problem. Anyway, here are a few more Bridget funnies for your reading enjoyment.

I’m Freaking out
We were going for a walk and Bridget ran through some neighbor’s sprinklers. The water was getting her pretty good.
T: (after Bridget made it through the water) Are you okay?
B: Yea. I’m just freaking out.

The wind blows my butt
Standing under the swap cooler with her bare bottom exposed, after having just gone potty.
B: Look mom (sticking her butt in the air), the wind blows my butt.
T: Alright, silly, get over here.
B: It feels cool, it just goes up and up and up my butt.
T: You like that huh?
B: Yea, its pretty cool. Do you want to do that to your butt?
T: No thanks.

Bridget is Hot!
Playing at the Park with Emily and her son Gordon.
E: Gordon, you look hot. Are you hot?
G: No, I’m not. Bridget is.
Emily and I got a pretty good laugh and tried to get Bridget to thank Gordon for the compliment. lol!

Jared ate my Fruit Snacks
B: Mom, can I have some fruit snacks?
T: Sure.
B: (minutes after finishing her first bag of fruit snacks) Mom, can I have some fruit snacks? Please?
T: Didn’t you already have some?
B: No, I didn’t.
T: If you didn’t have any, then who ate the ones I just gave you?
B: Jared did.
T: I never saw Jared. Are you sure he ate them?
B: It was a little tiny Jared (showing me an inch or so with her fingers). He just climbed up my arm (demonstrating with her fingers) and took my fruit snacks and ate them all gone.
T: Really? Are you trying to trick me?
B: (laughs and runs away)
…5 minutes later…
B: Mom, can I have some fruit snacks?
T: No, you already had some. Maybe tomorrow.
B: Ok. Mom, can I have a banana?

Who’s your daddy?
Dave, Bridget, and I were all playing and visiting while laying on our bed a few nights ago.
B: I have a baby in my tummy, see. (lifting up shirt)
T: How big is your baby? Is it as big as an apple?
B: No, it isn’t.
D: Can I kiss the baby?
B: Sure.
D: (blows a raspberry on her tummy)
B: That’s not a kiss. You go like this (makes kissing sound).
D: Oh, let me try again (kisses her tummy)
D: Can I talk to her?
B: Yea
D: (his whiskers tickle her tummy as he talks) Hello baby. Are you in there?
B: (giggles and laughing – pulls her shirt down) That’s enough
D: So who is your baby’s daddy?
B: You are.
D: (laughing) Who is the baby’s mommy?
B: Mommy is. Um, Tina.
D: Oh, so that’s your sister in there?
B: Yea, my sister.
T: If I poke your tummy will the baby kick?
B: No it has to get bigger.
B: When the baby gets bigger and bigger, we can eat her.
T: What? Why would you want to eat her? How sad.
B: I’m just kidding.

Square Burst
B: What do you got?
T: I have a Starburst. See (holding up the candy).
B: (looks at it thoughtfully for a moment) That’s a square burst.
T: Oh. It is square isn’t it.
B: Yea. It is.

The Bitamin is in the Cuvord
B: I need a bitamin.
T: You need what?
B: I need a bitamin. Its in the cuvord.
T: You want a vitamin?
B: Yea, a bitamin.
T: Say “The VITamin is in the cupBoard”
B: The bitamin is in the cuvord.
T: VITamin
B: Vitamin
T: Good job. Now, cupBoard.
B: cupboard
T: Now, say “The VITamin is in the cupBoard”
B: The vitamin is in the cupboard.
T: Yeah!! You did it. Let’s go get a vitamin.
B: Yeah, a bitamin.
T: A what?
B: A VITamin.
T: Right! Where are the vitamins?
B: In the cupboard.
T: Very good.

The one with 2 brown garages
B: I want to go to grandpa’s house
T: Which grandpa?
B: The one with 2 brown garages.
T: Two brown garages?
B: Yea, grandpa has 2 garages and the scary man has 2 garages too.
T: That’s true.
B: And he has hair on his face.
T: Grandpa? or the scary man?
B: Grandpa has hair on his face.
T: And 2 brown garages?
B: Yep.
T: Well, we can’t go today, but maybe we’ll go see grandpa soon.
B: I just want to go today.
T: I know, but grandpa is at work… and you need to take a nap, so we’ll have to go later.
B: Okay.
Incidentally, the grandpa with 2 brown garages is my dad. I knew he had two garage doors, but I didn’t remember that they were brown – and I grew up in that house. lol. I actually called him to confirm the color of his garage doors – sure enough.
Also, it should be noted that “the scary man” is actually our next door neighbor (who is actually not scary at all). Apparently he smiled at Bridget one day when she said “hi” to him, and apparently it scared her for some reason. This was months ago – ever since she’s called him the scary man.

When I’m a daddy
B: When I’m a daddy I can stand on the table.
T: When you’re a daddy?
B: Yea, when I’m a daddy I can.
T: But daddy doesn’t stand on the table. We’re not supposed to stand on the table.
B: If he tries, I will tell him “No, daddy! Don’t stand on the table” and he will get down.
T: That’s a good idea.

    How does she say things this fuuny! I love the wind up my butt comments. I laughed for a couple minutes!

  • Livia

    so funny, i love it. Maybe the jared that died in the bedtime story was little jared that ate the fruit snacks… comforting for jared at least, so he’s not dead.

  • Tina

    Oh, its most definitely the same Jared. She seems to have some sort of bond with Jared – he even has a chair at our table sometimes. (This is Dave’s friend Jared, btw.. not exactly a peer of hers).
