“Me Three”: This isn’t really a screwy phrase, but it’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard Kellan say lately. At dinner the other night, I said something like, “I’m thirsty” to which Michael replied, “Me too.” Then Kellan chimed in with, “Me three.” We immediately burst into laughter and Kellan, surprised at the reaction and delighted at his apparently genius comedy, started giggling nonstop. I’m not sure where he heard this phrase, but for some reason it was hilarious to hear it come out of a two year-old’s mouth/Shannon Paterson, Anchor Mom. More here. H/T: Treasured Valley

“you always have _____ mom” (fill in toys, crayons, cheetos, etc.)
And when she see’s something she recognizes
“It’s kinda like a dog” (it is a dog)

Nice Bree :-) Thanks for the memories.
Our oldest used to preface his requests to me “Booful (beautiful) Mama?”
Over the weekend this visiting, 6‘2”, mostly independent 19-year-old said, “What’s for dinner, Booful Mama?” And didn’t understand when I burst into tears.
