1. Reverse psychology: Start 'em young.
Jo and Opie are playing in her room. I'm listening from the kitchen over the baby monitor. Jo wants to come down, but Opie doesn't. So she tries this sly little ploy: "Opie! Wanna go upstairs? Yeah? OK! This is downstairs here. That way is upstairs. Let's go! Let's go upstairs!"
2. Was it Rick? Maybe Mick? Slick?
I'm changing Opie's diaper. He starts to sing (calendar notwithstanding) "Ho ho ho, who wunna go, ho ho ho, who wunna go? Up onna housetop kick kick kick, down frew da chimmey wi' good saint ... ... ... SANTA!"
3. Never mind what I was going to say about your shoes, then
At preschool:
JO: Megan, those are some spiffy pants!
MEGAN (wailing): Miss Ruuuuth! Jo said she's spitting on me!

you are a funny, funny woman.
I love these stories. I just wish I had had a blog back in the day to remember all the cute things they said. well...fortunately for them I found it in time for the teen years huh?
Ha! Great song lyrics. Q comes home with fragments of Chinese songs from music class and I have a heck of a time puzzling out the words. I get some help from their songbooks, but it's much harder to piece together toddler singing when you don't know the original words!
Too funny! That's great that you write these things down. I have to start doing that, because my son says some things that are truly priceless.
When all else fails, just make up the words. That still serves me well.
You have some funny kids!
Every time you post such gems, it just makes me miss you guys more.
(The year-round fave here is "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town". And how jealous am I that Opie can SING?!)
How funny....
