The Secret Language of Frogs

I know all kids have cute little words and phrases that are all their own, and mispronunciations in early childhood can make an entire family start saying things a whole new way. Who hasn't asked their kid "Do you want basketti for dinner?"

Of course, we have a plethora of entries in the FrogBoy dictionary. Here then for your enjoyment:

* Spectacles. These are glasses. He just likes calling them "spectacles."

* For example. This obviously means "for example." He just likes to say it before virtually every sentence. He has a dandy little things he does with his hands at the same time that seriously will make you laugh out loud.

* The white house. No, this is not where the president lives. This is where my aunt and uncle live. We have no idea why.

* Coastal Therapy Services Incorporated. This is where he goes for speech once a week. Every time he says the name of the place, we get the whole thing.

* Short pants. Not high-waters, shorts.

* Long pants. Jeans. All other pants are not encumbered with a name.

* My new class. The Won-by-One class at church. He's been going since 1st grade, but it is still his NEW class.

* Food stander. This is a TV tray. It holds food, and it's a stand, so I can only assume that's how he came up with that one.

* Princess Mommy. No explanation necessary. Except that I only get this one when he's trying to get his way about something.

Those are some of the cutest things that come out of his mouth. Of course, he also cusses occasionally (although not intentionally), so things even out pretty well.
