Another week of Fred-isms has kept me entertained and delighted, as I get to understand the world according to Freddy. I love his take on things and the way he articulates himself. He is learning so much and his imagination is developing beautifully. 4 is a great age!
At bedtime.
Me: Close your eyes.
Freddy: Is that so the dreamworld can come into my eyeballs?
About Jesus.
Freddy: Who's Jesus?
Me: He's a man that some people think is the son of God who did lots of good and kind things for people.
Freddy: Is he Mike the Knight?
On Diets.
"You could get skinny if you go to the doctors for a hoperation to take off your skin, take out some bones and put some skinny skin back on."
Personal Hygiene.
"I smelt something today. I thought it was a fart but it was just someone's stink."
On School.
"I had a really good day. I didn't even fall over."
On his family.
"Mummy smells of bananas and custard. Kizzy smells of chair fluff. Ella smells of love and rainbows!"
On beards:
"The spikes on daddy's face make my chin feel all scrumbly!"
On having his photo taken:
"I don't want to smile, I want to look cool!" (the resulting photo really is pretty cool!!)
On Injustice:
Freddy came in crying indignantly and saying Kizzy was being mean to him. I asked what happened and he said Kizzy had told him loudly to 'Stop It'. I asked him what he was doing for her to shout at him like that and he replied "hitting her with a stick!!"
In the Queue at Morrison's we were behind a soldier in uniform.
Freddy: Why is that man wearing those clothes.
Ella: Because he is a soldier.
Freddy: Does he fight baddies? (followed by very loudly) IS HE A NINJA??!!
Thankfully the soldier thought it was very funny :)
