Yesterday the boys had preschool and afterwards I asked Heather and Caroline to go to lunch with us and get pizza. The kids were really good and Caroline wanted "the boys" to come back to her house and play for a little while. Of course I said yes. That means time for Heather and I to chat and relax for a few because the kids usually get along really well. We stayed for about an hour and as I was putting the boys shoes on the funniest thing happened.
Let me first put a disclaimer on this. I am totally not making this up and I hope it does not offend anyone it is honestly just a word he can't say. With that being said...
Kannon came over and I asked him to get his shoes for me and he said, " I'm being nigorent." Heather and I both BURST OUT INTO LAUGHTER!!! He was trying to say ignorant but can't say it right. He didn't know why we were laughing, but to hear a kid say anything that is remotely wrong is always funny. Of course the laughter made him keep repeating it and Heather and I could not stop laughing. Then Caroline and Magnum started chiming in saying the same thing.
Later that night I told Jon what he said and we kept trying to get him to say it correctly, but he just doesn't get it. That's one we'll have to keep practicing for sure. He's all proud because he finally figured out how to say Gatorade and not Gatalade. This will be our new "word project".
I thank God for the innocence of children and the comedy that they bring us.
