Me: "Lukas, come sit on Daddy's lap. I want to have a talk with you"
Lukas: "Huuuug!"
Me: "You sure are sweet. And since you are begining to talk so much recently, I was thinking maybe you could step it up a bit on feeding me funny material for my blog posts."
Lukas: "No, I do it daddy"
Me: "You see, I read a lot of other daddy blogs where the kids are always saying something hilarious when they don't realize what they are actually saying. It's blog-gold. I need more of that now that your words are flowing."
Lukas: "No poopoo, daddy"
Me: "Good to know son. Now, about the material. It's like hitting the blog lottery, and you are my winning ticket little buddy."
Lukas: "Huuuug!"

Lukas: "What's DAT?"
Me: "Ok, so maybe that will come later. No problem. Hey, I also read a lot of blogs where the kids draw funny pictures of mommy or daddy. Those can turn out hilarious as well. Why don't you sit at your table and color a picture of daddy? Won't that be fun?"
Lukas: "YEEEAH!!"
(Lukas' rendering of Daddy)
Editors note: Tune in next post, when I will likely once again explore the sleeping habits of an active 21-month-old.
Sounds like some conversations I have with Jacob, except he isn't speaking nearly that well! However the drawing was great! ((GRIN))
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'll be writing posts about my son's early attempts at communication. To quote stand-up comic Eugene Mirman - "A lot of people think that kids say the darndest things, but so would you if you had no education."
ReplyDeleteI can see a slight resemblance!
ReplyDeleteUm, where's your hair?
ReplyDeleteHave you been working out?
ReplyDelete@Being Us - Thanks. Stunning likeness, but you will have to take my word on that.
ReplyDelete@Art Dada - Isn't that what makes it funny or cute though? Not nearly as funny when an adult makes verbal gaffs...unless of course they are Leader of the free world or something.
@Eric - He caught me on a bad hair day.
@DC - Urban Dad - Can't you see the brown in there?
@Xbox - No, but thanks for thinking so. Maybe that will be the inspiration I need to get back at it. lol.
One day, you'll write a post about how your kid never shuts up, and how he includes your ear hair in every portrait he prepares.
ReplyDelete@SciFi - I think he included the ear hair in this one.
