tackling some bigger words....


Jesse is into trying out new words and expressions.  It’s quite amusing.  Just in the past 24 hours, here are a few he’s tackled.

PERSONALITY
“Janna is a personality, mom”
After explaining that she is a person with a personality, and talking about different personalities, I asked Jesse what sort of personality Janna and he have.
“Janna has a very...white...personality.  I have a very...spongebob personality”

DISGUSTING
At dinner time, Jesse says, “Mom, this is willy disgusting.” 
He is happily eating his dinner with little complaint and so I ask him what is disgusting
“The pasta is willy disgusting.”
Dave tells Jesse it’s not nice to comment on mom’s cooking that way, and I ask him if he knows what disgusting means? 
“Ummm.... I don’t.  What does disgusting mean?”

FRUSTRATED
We are driving home from church and Dave and I are having a pleasant conversation up front in the van.  Jesse pipes us with:
“Mom... that just makes me willy frustrated”
I ask him what is making him frustrated
“Your talking is just making me willy frustrated”
I ask him if he knows what frustrated means, and he answers very seriously, “Yes. I DO.” Followed by dead silence and a stare out his side window as if the conversation is finished. 
Taken aback, Dave and I both burst into laughter not sure how to respond, and a minute later Jesse asks, “Mom. What DOES frustrated mean?”

 MAN STUFF
Jesse is playing with a paper airplane Dave made him on the way to school.  He is going on and on about it, and I tell him it’s really nice, and maybe we can play with it together after school?
“No mom.  It’s just a man thing.  Right.  Daddy said it’s man stuff.”
