nathan-isms, vol. 6.

It's been a few months since I've shared some Nathan-isms. Here are a few that I've jotted down ...

After dropping a bowl of cereal on the floor...
Nate: Mommy, are you thinking potty words?
Me: ....
(full disclosure: he still thinks that potty words are things like "poopy butt" so we'll keep it at that)

While watching me change his baby cousin's diaper...
Nate: He has a butt?!?


While doing some serious pretend play with his superheroes and bad guys...
Nate: It's time for DIARRHEA!! Power up, boys!
Me: Nate, what do you think that "diarrhea" means?
Nate: It's how superheroes get their energy to fight.
Me: That is actually a word for icky poop when you don't feel good. Do you understand?
Nate: Oooooh! You said a potty word!

Because being a threenager is a real thing...
Nate: I don't really like you today.
Me: Well, that's a shame because I like you.
Nate: Awkwaaaaaaaaaard.

While watching his baby cousin, all swaddled up, taking a nap...
Nate: When he wakes up, will he be a butterfly?

Learning the ways of the world...
Me: Let's see if you can get to the car before I count to three. One ... Two ... Wow, you're so fast!
Nate: If I'm not, I get timeout.
