I love carpooling to preschool... not only does it give me a week off every other week from driving but it allows me a little glimpse into the life of my toddler and his interactions with his friends. Every day we pick up Walton and Baylor, my friend Holly's 3 year old twins, and the boys start their banter. Sometimes they fight, sometimes they drive me crazy, but most of the time I truly enjoy listening to their little conversations. Although they don't always make sense, it is quite entertaining... I like to turn off the radio and just listen... trying hard not to let them know I'm laughing at all the cute things they are saying.
This morning was no different. One's trying to out-do the next one and then the next one chimes in.... boys and their hero worship for their daddies. It went something like this...
WALTON: My daddy likes to hunt.
JACOB: Well, my daddy like to hunt more.
BAYLOR: My daddy hunts deer.
WALTON: Yea... he hunts big deer.
JACOB: Well, my daddy shoots deer, too.
WALTON: Well, my daddy shoots birds.
JACOB: Well, my daddy shoots ducks.
BAYLOR: Mine does too.
JACOB: My daddy shoots really big bears.
WALTON: My daddy shoots them too.
JACOB: Well, my daddy doesn't like cats. He shoots cats.
WALTON: Well, my daddy shoots hunting dogs.
JACOB: He can't shoot hunting dogs because the policeman will get him and shoot him.
BAYLOR: No, the policeman only shoots bad guys.
WALTON: Well, I like to shoot spiders.
JACOB: I don't like spiders. I'm scared of them!
WALTON: Well, I can save you.
JACOB: Buuuurrrrpp!
JACOB: I just burped (and he laughs)
WALTON: Nice one!
And they all start giggling like little girls....
I could barely hold in the laughter myself this time! And it looks like my fear of warping Jacob about policemen still holds true. Anyone got any ideas to help???

Toddler talk is so cute!
Mally is really into talking about butts right now! It's, "Old Macdonald had a butts."
and, "Mary had a little BUTTS!"
You name it (songwise) and she'll fill in the word...BUTTS!
That is so funny. Yea you never know what they are going to say
The last time I was pulled over for speeding, all the kids were in the car. I said, "Officer, I'm trying to teach my children that you are our friend." So the officer smiled at all of them, gave them stickers, and let me off with a warning. Try it next time!
Well, I hope I don't get pulled over! But if I do, I'll have to explain Jacob's fear to him and maybe he'll be nice and do the same for my kids. And by the way, I never knew policemen carried around stickers for children....
That's hilarious! When we first moved here, Aidan came in from playing and asked David if he would take hunting lessons so they could go shoot something.
I was laughing out loud, I love these boys, they are the highlight of my day. Every day they make me laugh! Today, they were all comparing boo-boos to see which one had the worst boo-boo. Jacob proudly declared that he didn't have any today, only Baylor, Walton and Reese did.
Like you said, Emmy, frat boys in training..... scary!!
too funny. Well with my record I probably am no help in the police department. Good Foo Fighter's song!
