I've been collecting these for a while, it's interesting that Annalise is in Caleb's old stage of mispronouncing everything and kind of having her own little dialect, while he has moved on to making funny observations about life. The funniest thing with Annalise lately is that she will suddenly repeat a cliched quote that I told her a week ago - like saying "A yiddle bit, goes a yong way!". Caleb is more poetic, he is much more likely to include allusions to books we've read in his speech - asking if my "heart is filled with joy" instead of if I am happy. Two of his quotes are things he's repeating from books - the one about rain and the one about the star.
Annalise: I a fip fop wea-in’ gull! (I’m a flip flop wearing girl!)
Caleb: I’ve been thinking; let’s mow an A in our backyard.
Me: It looks like it might rain.
Caleb: And wash away all the hurt and sadness in the world?
Annalise: I do it by my-own-self.
Caleb: Do they sell buffalo meat at Publix?
Annalise: Pick me up Mommy
Me: I need to carry the laundry basket upstairs, you can walk, why do you need me to carry you?
Annalise: Because you love it.
Caleb: Has anyone ever seen a pirate?
Me: Yes, lots of people.
Caleb: Tell me all their names.
Annalise: No-ba-ee! (nobody)
Caleb: If you smoke, your lungs will turn GREEN! (innocently, but emphatically told to our neighbor…a smoker)
Annalise: Me-mowe, me-mowe (it’s what cats say)
Caleb (on the phone with my parents): I love you as big as a star!
Annalise (patting her tummy meditatively): Momma, they cut me open and took you out.
smokers lung has a whole new meaning.
