oh, and ps…

This story freaking rocks!  Go read it!

I saw it on the news last night and have been thinking about it all morning.

 

funny words that kids say

The kidlet and I were talking last night and somehow got on the subject of mispronounced words. 

When he was little, he coudn’t say squirrel.  It came out squeer-ul.  We would take a walk and he would see a squirrel and he’d shout out “Momma, lookit a squeer-ul”!    He pronounces it correctly now.  The other word he had trouble with was horse.  He said “forse”.  No matter how hard I tried (the whole h-h-h-horse came out of his mouth as h-h-h -forse) it was still forse.  We lived near Lancaster county and therefore, saw horse and buggies all the time.  He would get so excited when he would see a “forse and buggy”.  He prounces that correctly now too.

One of my friend’s son used to call a caterpillar an addapidder.  I use that word all the time when I see a caterpillar.  Oh, he also used to call manicotti manacoyote   Another one of my friend’s daughter used to call a helicopter a huckapucker.  I still use that word too, so does the kidlet, LOL!  We get strange looks and have to explain what the heck we are talking about.

I just glanced out my window and it’s beautiful outside.  I know it’s a little chilly, but the sky looks awesome!  I wish I would’ve brought my camera with me today.  I could’ve gone outside at lunch to snap some pictures.  There are some really gorgeous daffodils blooming right out front. 

I am actually waiting on a new camera bag I purchased to arrive until I start schlepping it around.  I have a bag it’s currently in, but I don’t like it.  I picked up a nice Lowepro Slingshot bag. 

Here are some pictures of it:

Yeah, I am gonna look like a nerd, and what?    I don’t care, so neener neener.  My camera will be safe and secure and easy to get to just like in that there picture in the middle.  Swing it around to the front from the back and open the lid and voila, shoot! 

I should probably get back to work now…
