It has happened. It was only a matter of time, especially considering how much their father and I like to argue. (I would like to claim that I do not argue, but I suspect a few people out there might disagree with that statement.)
Well, Brother's words have finally warranted his first speaking blog post.
He fell. When he falls, he tends to be a little more dramatic about it than his sister was at this age. So, in an attempt to decrease the drama, I have started saying "Boom!" or "Bonk!" depending on the type of fall. Instead of coming up crying, it has successfully encouraged a much louder parrot-like response - unless he is truly hurt.
When this fall occurred, I was a little distracted.
Me: Bonk!
Brother: NO! BOOM!
Well, he was right - it was a boom and not a bonk. He certainly told me.
It is not the first time I have been corrected, either. He will point to something and say "Mommy, Mommy" when he does not know what it is. So, I tell him and I usually get an "OOOHH" in response. Occassionally, I will get a correction.
Today, he points to a picture of a pink animal as I am walking into the other room. Without really looking, I assume the pink animal is a pig, so of course I say, "That's a pig."
Brother: "No, titty tat!" (kitty cat)
Upon further investigation, he was right. Apparently, he just wanted to test my knowledge.
