Boy Cheese?

We’ve spent the better part of the last two weeks preparing to move, hanging in a hotel, and then at last, moving into our new home.

That means we’ve eaten out quite a bit. My four-year-old (self named DahDoo) has always had an interesting take on words and phrases….

So, we’re at Red Robin. DahDoo points to a photo on the kid’s menu. The waitress arrives and I order his request - grilled cheese. He screams indignantly, “No!!!” We all stare at him in confusion as he turns bright red. “I’m a boy! I want a boy cheese sandwich, not a girl cheese sandwich.

    Oh, I love that! Make sure you write it down so you’ll always remember. :smile:

    I hope the move went well and you’re in your new house! Those boxes look a bit overwhelming so remember to take deep breaths. Take care!

    So cute!

    It took me back to the days my older son would demand “Yucky Charms” and “Woops” for breakfast (Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops … he couldn’t pronounce his “L”s until he was almost 10.

    Ha ha! This is such a great story. Reminds me of when my little one always called Miami “your ami” when she talked to me. Once she nearly punched a kid out who said he was going to Miami. “You are NOT!” she screamed at him. “It’s my mommy’s ami!”

    I agree with Robin, above, though. Write it down so you’ll always have it. We’ve kept a book of the funny things the kids have said through the years–and whenever I need a good laugh, that’s the first place I head to, especially if Stephen Colbert isn’t on.
