Joeyisms, MadDawgies, and SaySays

A couple of notes I wrote down from the kids....

Things Saylor says:
"Rainbow" = This means umbrella
"Graph Yard" = This means Garfield
"I'm full of hands" = My hands are full
"My feet are Sparkling" = My feet are asleep
"Hanny-tizer" = This means Hand Sanitizer
"Ears Peered" = This means ears pierced
"Construction Stand" = This means Concession Stand
"Eddy" = Yeti

I said to Joey one day before a game - "Look good, play good...now go do your hair, it looks awful." And, he said "Look good, play good, and you know what you would look REALLLL good doing? Getting my water bottle for me."

Maddox: Hey, mom, Sam told his friends that if GG farts in the car, they can't laugh.
Joey: Yep and Fardle goes "Yep, she just doesn't have control over that rectum.
Maddox: So, mom, don't ever laugh at GG when she farts. She can't help it.

Joey: Mom, the teacher told us today that our homework was looking up the definition of these ten words in the dictionary.
Me: Well, that's not so bad.
Joey: I looked at her and said "Why would I use a dictionary when I can just ask Siri? I mean...just ask her and she tells you. A dictionary is so much work....you have to like, find the word, in a book, and then read it."

Saylor was helping decorate for Christmas. I put a tree on the mantle and said "yeah, I'm not sure I like it there." And, Joey goes "I don't like it." And, Saylor looked at him and said "Joey, you don't tell someone you don't like that! You say 'I don't like that STYLE. Or you say 'I think it might look good somewhere else.' Or, you say 'Let's step back and look at it.' But, you don't say that you don't LIKE IT. That's not nice!"

Joey: I totally got Mrs. Battani yesterday.
Me: How? You tricked her?
Joey: I went up to her and sniffed my nose. And, said "smells like up dog in here." And, Mrs Battani said "What is up dog?" And, I winked and said "Nothing much, what's up with you?"

Joey: Mrs. Battani was doing a math story and she was using $5 subway foot longs as part of her problem. And, I just couldn't let that go so I raised my hand and said "I hate to tell you this, Mrs. Battani but the prices of the footlongs went up to $6. My mom said it was the rising cost of meat!"

Saylor: Mom, let's tell a secret. Who is your favorite kid?
Me: Well, I can't tell you that....everyone is my favorite.
Saylor: I promise I won't tell anyone if you tell me. Who is your favorite kid?
Me: Okayyyy....I'll tell you if you tell me who your favorite parent is.
Saylor: okay...
Me: My favorite kid is definitely YOU! But, don't tell the boys..! Now, who is your favorite parent? I promise I won't tell dad your answer.
Saylor: Dad. He's my favorite.

Saylor came in from outside crying. The boys had been playing basketball with her. I asked her what was wrong and she burst into tears saying "JOEY PUT ME ON SKATES!" hahaha. Obviously, Joey had taken her to the basket and she fell down and he made fun of her for it....but I don't think she quite knew what that meant! she just knew joey was making fun of her!
