Fostering Corruption? Or . . . BRILLIANCE?

Funny words to hear a two-year old say (and also why I'm the best nanny ever):
  • sifter
  • ridiculous
  • fabulous
  • angst (Context on this one: Ethan was writing with his mom's pink pen and it was WAY INTENSE - since he'd been kind of a bum all day I said, "You've got some serious angst, buddy boy!" He repeated, "Angst, buddy boy! Angst, buddy boy!" Be very careful what you say.)
  • shakin' and bakin' - I was teaching Ethan a game I like to call "Working at Wendy's" (yeah, I'm giving him some really high aspirations) because there's a little place in the playground that looks like a drive up window. We turned the playground bark into chicken nuggets and French fries, and then I asked what he was doing, and followed up with, "Are you working at Wendy's? Shakin' and bakin'?" Yeah, he's still saying that one.
  • Mr. Fluffernutter (see Skippyjon Jones)
So yeah. If you just go on vocabulary, I'm going to be a great mom.
