Max and His Gats
So my younger godson, Max, is three now. In many ways, Max is scary-smart, but at this point in his life, he's not doing much with enunciation. The thing is that Max would much rather put his time into riding his bike and taking apart the remote control. If he wasn't so short, I'd be worried about him taking off in the car one day. He's that kind of kid.
Anyway, due to Max's busy schedule, he's developed a number of speech habits that are pretty funny. My current favorite is "gat," which is what he calls cats. So the other day he came running into my house exclaiming, "Adren, 'ere are your GATS?" He also had fun playing with the gat toys and wondering where the gat food was.
Also, when he says "train tracks," it still kind of sounds like "brain box." I don't know what a brain box is, but I think I want one.

Y'know... I'm thinking the Max-'rents may want to keep Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom away from him. Once he sees Short Round driving Indy's car through the streets of Shanghai with the help of blocks strapped to his feet...
Only a matter of time.

I want one, too. With a cushion inside. For the gats...

Sabrina, You are so right. Lucky for us, he's pretty much stuck on Mickey Mouse Playhouse, at least for the present.
Tanita, Maybe also a nice little heater and a cup of tea.

Gats? Perhaps he's expressing his desire to see the guns in your house (the recommended, but not purchased ones!) You'd better keep him off the streets. If he's wearing gang colors the next time I see him, I may have to rescue him.

Yes, Olivia, I was thinking the same thing.

Adrienne, that concerns me, if it's true. ;)
