Mommy, what's a potty train?

And other favorite Augie quotes lately:

After finding a book we hadn't read in a week: "We never read this in a couple of whiles"

A convertible: "Converticahble!"

"I'm doing downward dog!  I'm a yoga boy!"

"I need my instruments!  March march march march march.  I'm a parade boy!"

"Mommy, take off your flop flops."

"It's a Jeep!  A John Deere Jeep.  John Deere grass, John Deere trees...."

At the end of the ABCs..."Now my know my EFGs"

*Farts*  Brett: "what do you say?"  "Augie: "that's a toot."

"Mommy boo, I need a new penis.  This one is hurting me."

"When I go to the haircut place I'm going to sit down and look in the mirror and say oh i look good!" (most sentences / complete thoughts are this long or longer)


Regarding mint toothpaste: “that's so spicy”

Often, I will tell Augie that my number one job is to keep him and Benny safe, particularly when he disagrees with me on something that I'm doing to keep him or Benny safe. Today, we were walking up the stairs and I flipped on the light. "MOMMY. My number one job is to turn the lights on and off. DON'T TURN THE LIGHTS ON."

After typing these all up, I realize how much we think of as funny is just us laughing at an amateur in the English language. It would be like making fun of a foreign exchange student for their lack of mastery of English and its idioms. But it is so funny, we just can't help it.
