FRIDAY FAVORITES [BECAUSE I NEVER WANT TO FORGET ...]

by - Friday, June 26, 2020

Hey Hey Friday!

I know, I know … it's not our vacation posts but THEY ARE COMING! I promise!
Do you know those words that your kiddos call things when they're little that you never, ever want to forget?  Or what about those phrases they say?!?  That's what this post is all about today.  For about a year or so now, I have been keeping a note saved on my phone of all the words & phrases that my kiddos say or have said in the past that I never want to forget.  Whenever they say it or I remember one, I jot it down.  So, I thought I would share some of them with y'all & also so I have them to look back on!  I have to say, Millie Jo is hilarious when it comes to words.  It's so stinkin' cute, too, because in their minds it makes so much sense!  And I'd be lying if I said that these little words or phrases weren't my favorite!!

CAN'T YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Both Cooper & Millie Jo STILL say this.  When they're surprised about something they will say "Mom!  Can't you believe that?"

PORK CHOPS
You know, those sticks you eat with at a Chinese restaurant?  Millie Jo called chop sticks "pork chops" for the longest time & thankfully I have her on video saying it because I never want to forget it!

SCRUBBY
You know, those things that just came back a year or so ago from the 80's.  Girls wear them in their hair & on their wrists.

SHARK SHELLS
You know, those things you look for on the beach that comes out of a shark's mouth.

PANETTIE
You know, that thing you hit at a birthday party that has lots of candy inside of it.

YESTERYEAR
You know, like yesterday but last year.

BATHING SOUP
You know, that thing you put on to go swimming.

OLDEN DAYS
"Hey mom or dad, when you were growing up in the olden days ..."

N-A-MINS
You know, that little chocolate candy that says M&M on it.

I HAVE A GREAT IDID!
You know, that thing you have when a light bulb goes off in your head.

And these are just a few!  I can't wait for Ellie Joy to start making up her own little words for things so I can add them to the list!


Okay, so now I have to know … what is something your babes say that is just too funny not to share!?!











Linking up with ANDREAERIKA for FRIDAY FAVORITES!

  1. For the longest time my oldest son called trail mix lala and water was wee wee; I had to leave notes for the babysitter translating his baby speak for them! And my youngest son called butterflies flutterbyes. I was once correcting him (he had to be in kindergarten at the time) and our trampoline coach told me not to; that someday I would miss it so much.

  2. We all say 'baby suit' for bathing suit. And 'tute' for cute. And a host of other things. A few years ago, I had my mom write down some of her Ozark expressions. So glad we did that because she has such dementia now, she can't remember any of them. One of my faves is 'busy as a cranberry merchant'!
    Love N-A-Mins!! That word and those candies.
