Spoken Like a True Two-Year Old


Abigail’s rich vocabulary has recently evolved into strings of words making complete or nearly-complete sentences. How quickly we had forgotten how funny the mind, quips, and blatant honesty of a two-year old can be. She keeps all of us laughing to the point of irreverence and near-loss of control of bodily functions. Here are some of Abby’s recent colloquialisms (if only you could hear them in her sweet, excited little girlie voice with not all sound pronunciations down yet):

In response to Erin’s question wondering if the desalinized water is drinkable: “No! It make you sick!” (said with upturned nose and serious look of disgust)

To our waiter lingering close to our table: “No come! I not finished yet!”

At snack time: “C’mon, Erin! You want some applesauce? It’ll be fuuuun!”


Seeing some cake on a table (
there's a good chance she was even rubbing her hands together): “Ooohhh. Chooooocolate!”

When Kennedy was talking with her about a picture of Jesus being baptized:
“Abby, who’s this?”
“Jesus Chist.” (not a typo...she can't really pronounce 'r' yet)
“And who’s this baptizing Jesus?”
“John…uh…Johnnnnn…Johnny Lingo.”

Running in when she finds the diapers dad bought on a late-night diaper run: “Thank you, Daddy! Thank you, Daddy! Thank you buy me diapers at store.”

Reaction to a lady at church blowing her nose (granted it was rather loud and honky): “Haaaaa! Haaaaaa!”

Thinking Dad should leave the same time as the kids-concerned that he’s going to be late for work: “Wun, Dad! Wun like the wind!”

Said to the wife of a man at church acting very sleepy during the meeting: “He yaaaawwwwning,” followed by her little snoring noises (At least she’s not Ethan at two who upon seeing someone sleeping in a church conference meeting just hollered out, “Wake Up!!”)

Looking and pointing during diaper changes of the rather messy kind: “You missed some. No, right there. Wipe more. Some there, too.” (okay…that’s really just a sign that it’s time to potty train already!!!)

When the lady Abby was sitting by at church pulled a kleenex out of her purse: “You need get boogie out?”
