Precious

The other night, Grammy and Papu took Bubba to visit a dear friend from church, Debbie Pryor, who recently had surgery. Grammy told Bubba that she had to have an operation. He said, "I'm sorry, is she sad?"

Then, Debbie showed Bubba her bird named Precious. Jack saw the bright yellow and orange bird and said, "feedy"!
Grammy kept asking him if he was saying Pheobe. She kept telling him that the bird's name was Precious, not Pheobe.

Later on, Grammy was telling Jimmy and me about what he was calling the bird. Neither of us could understand him or figure out what name he kept calling the bird.

Then, 2 days later, Bubba's older cousin, Sierra, informed us that he was saying, "Tweety".

It's amazing that it took a 13 year old to translate the most obvious bird name in all of history.

Zerbies

Like most kids, Bubba loves when Daddy blows zerberts on his tummy. He says, "do zerbies dada!" Of course it makes that lovely "tooting" sound and makes him laugh hysterically.

The other night Jimmy was lying on the floor with him "doing zerbies", and each time that "tooting" sound occured, I would say, "eeewww, did you toot?" He thought that was so funny. So I kept saying it each time and got an even better response as we progressed.

Then, he said, "I do zerbies on daddy!" So he did it, and then to try to be funny like me, he accidentally mixed up his words and said, "dad, did you poop?"
