We are working with Chase on not using inappropriate words/phrases like "stupid" and "hate." He corrects us regularly for saying both of these things...so I guess it's working. Or maybe not.
Chase: Mommy, I can't say "hate."
Tracy: That's right; it's not nice.
Chase: But what happens if I hate babies?
Tracy (appalled): That's really not nice, Bud. You can't hate babies.
Chase (exasperated): Not Claire, Mommy. Just babies I don't know.
Chip off the old mommy block?

S#I+ My Dad Says
This is a special edition of Hot Dog Dialogue...it was too good to pass up.
The family is getting ready to go to the town's annual Memorial Day Parade.
Chase: Do you think there will be a marching band?
Keith (smirking): No, bud, I don't think so.
Tracy (confused): I think there probably will be. At least the high school's, right?
Keith (more confused): Wait, what?
Tracy and Chase: A marching band.
Keith: Oh, I thought you said a martian man.

On The Blog
Keith and I mention the blog in conversation while Chase is in the room.
Chase: What's a blog?
Keith: It's a website where Mommy writes down the funny things you say so we can remember them later. We can show you if you want.
Pause, as he contemplates this idea.
Chase: Ugh. That sounds boring.

On Books...again.
Chase asked to see the copy of The Hunger Games that I picked up for Keith at the library.
Chase: Where are the pictures?
Tracy: There aren't any pictures. It's a grown-up book.
Chase: Oh.
Pause
Chase: Then where's the table of contents?
Well, at least we're making some progress since the original book conversation.

On Heritage
Chase and Tracy are "doing preschool" and are matching St. Patrick's Day themed pictures to their shadows. The first picture is of the Irish flag.
Tracy: Do you know what flag this is?
Chase: No.
Tracy: It's the flag of Ireland. So, it's the Irish flag. Remember when I told you the other day that we are Irish? Our family was from Ireland.
Chase: Like Aunt Caca? (Keith's Aunt Monica)
Tracy: Um, no, I don't think Aunt Caca is Irish.
Chase: Oh. Cause she's from Jersey.
Tracy: Do you know what flag this is?
Chase: No.
Tracy: It's the flag of Ireland. So, it's the Irish flag. Remember when I told you the other day that we are Irish? Our family was from Ireland.
Chase: Like Aunt Caca? (Keith's Aunt Monica)
Tracy: Um, no, I don't think Aunt Caca is Irish.
