These Things Are Too Grumpy

Way past just the risk of everyone thinking we are overly amused by Leo's way with words, I still have to say how much I loved (and how accurate it felt for a kid over his head in weeds) the untainted description: grumpy.

Also, the Batman shirt was on for maybe 4 days in a row. Not all the time for all 4 days. But certainly part of the time all 4 days. Picking battles.

Further Fun With Words

This morning, first thing:

ME: Hey! You woke up! (Give or take an exclamation point. It was early, ok?)

LEO: Daddy, my hand...

ME: Yeah?

LEO: My hand is spicy.

(His hand had fallen asleep and was buzzing/fizzing or, more accurately, spicy.)

Instinctive Word Invention

(We interrupt this cliffhanger for a brief commercial break. I'm sure Holly will finish the story sometime sort of soon.Hey, don't kill the messenger.)

LEO: Daddy...

ME: Yeah?

LEO: My....my....(thinks about it for a pretty long time)...my knee pit is itchy.

Knee pit. That's way better than calling it "the back of my knee" like I've always done.
