We thought it might be fun to have a place where we keep track of some of the funny things we say. Here are Mom and Dad’s twin-terpretations of our day-to-day dialogue.
Mason, after going in the closet to find Mom’s robe: Momma, I found your robe, but I can’t get it off the hooker. (Feb. 2011)
Mason: The sun is out, but it’s still cold! We’re going to get iceburned! (Feb. 2011)
When asked what they hope Santa will bring (December 2010):
Mason: A Transformer mask
Morgan: A candy cane…and a lollipop
Morgan (December 2010): The chimney is too dark. Santa might fall asleep.
While enjoying dinner (November 2010):
Mason: We’re drive-thruers.
Mom: What?
Mason: We’re drive-thruers. I drive thru, Morgan drives thru, Mama drives thru, and Daddy drives thru
After “helping” Mom get his pants out of the dryer:
Mason: I need help putting them on. They’re “inside outside.” (November 2010)
In the shower:
Morgan: Prince (what she calls Mason after watching fairy tale movies), this is impossible!
Mason: What’s “impossible?”
Morgan: When it’s impossible, we go to time out! (November 2010)
In the front yard after Morgan has stripped off her bathing suit:
Mommy: Put your clothes back on!
Morgan: Yeah, the neighbors don’t need to see my elbows. (September 2010)

Mommy: It’s Brian.

When discussing an upcoming visit to the pediatrician (April 2010):
Mom: “Tomorrow, we’re going to see Dr. Katz to find out how big you are!”

Mom: “What?”
Morgan: “I want to hold the kitty cat and pick her up.”
Mom: “I don’t think Dr. Katz wants to be picked up.”

Morgan to Mason as he sits in time out: “No hit me, no bite me, no time out.” (March 2010)
