Andrew Says The Darndest Things...

I am now 8 days away from my due date, and I think all this pregnancy, labor, birth & baby talk going on in this house has started to have an effect on Andrew.

Before I go into what he actually said, let me give you a little back history. When Andrew was six months old, we had some new neighbors move into our cul-de-sac. They had a baby girl who was five months old, named Angela. Andrew and Angela quickly became best friends. They had little playdates when they were babies. They went to preschool together for two years, and played together outside as often as they could. If you asked one who their best friend was - they automatically pointed to the other. They were tight. Then a few months ago, Angela and her family moved out of state. Andrew has been pretty bummed out, he really misses his friend. The other day, he says:

Andrew: Mom, I really miss Angela. I want to play with her again.

Alivia: Yeah, and I really miss Laaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiina (Angela's little sister). I want to play with her toooooooooooooooo. (This is how Alivia ends every sentence. The last word is drawn out for at least 2 or 3 seconds).

Andrew: Well, you can't Livie. Angela and Laina moved to Uterus.

Alivia: Uteruuuuuuuus?

Andrew: Yeah, and it's really far away.

Me:.....(trying not to giggle)......Where did they move, Andrew?

Andrew: UTERUS!

Me: You mean, Utah?

Andrew:....(thinking)........oh, yeah. Utah.

Poor guy is learning faster than he can digest the information. Utah. Uterus. Same thing really.

More importantly how is it possible there is another child on this planet with MY child's name. I was totally original with that one. Little bitch...

Uterus, oh my gosh that is really funny. I love it when kids get things so close to being accurate but that tiny bit they are off mark makes it so much more fun that if they spoke regular-speak all the time.
