6 Verbals

Filed under: Listy McListerton,The Baby — denise @ 6:13 am

The Baby communicates everything she needs to in this world with 6 sounds. I mean, she gestures a lot with her hands and waves bye-bye and can point to her nose, ear and sometimes eye and blows kisses (loudly and exuberantly) but her verbal is only 6 strong right now…

1. Mama

  • means “mother” about 10% of the time
  • 90% of the time it means, “Give me that delicious thing to eat!”

(this, of course drives me insane as she will point at a cookie, her milk, spaghetti, etc going, “Mama! Mama!” and I’m going, “I’M YOUR MAMA, DAMMIT!”)

2. Dada

  • Means Daddy. Only. Annoyingly so.

3. Baby

  • As in “Why, there are babies around here! Look at them!” or
  • “There is a picture of a baby!” or
  • “I am looking at myself in a mirror.”

4. Nummy-Nummy

  • “I am hungry. Food, please.”

5. Uh-Oh or more often Uh-oh UH-OH UUUH-OOOOOOOOH UHOH UHOH UHOH!!!!!!!!!

  • I have dropped something.
  • I have picked something up that I probably should not have picked up.
  • I have broken something.
  • I have spilled something.
  • I can’t reach something that I want.
  • My foot or hand has disappeared into my clothing and I can’t get it out.
  • My toy is stuck.
  • Something is making a noise.
  • There is a bug in the room.
  • There was a sound outside.
  • A noise has happened somewhere in this house. (cell phone ringing, doorbell, instant message, dishwasher, etc)
  • The vacuum or Scooba is running.
  • Someone is grinding coffee beans or is using the disposal.
  • The toilet has been flushed.
  • There is no one around to read me this book that I desperately want to be read.
  • The gate is closed. The gate is closed! THE GATE IS CLOSED!
  • I am in my crib and awake.
  • The TV has gone to commercial
  • Yo! Gabba Gabba has stopped!
  • Someone has paused the TV! (extreme uh-ohs)
  • My shoe has come off
  • I do not like these beans
  • I have pulled my sock off with my teeth.
  • Someone appears to be eating something I want.
  • There is a box in this house that I have never seen before!
  • Etc.

6. Eh-eh!

  • There is a bird on the lawn!
  • There is a bunny on the lawn!
  • A leaf just moved on the lawn!
  • There is STILL A BUNNY ON THE LAWN!
  • Happy Birthday, Mommy. (well, at least today…)

A Friday List

Inapropriate things my pica made me say in the last week :

1. When looking at Pat’s pictures of her friends house that is being built and the cardboard all over the floor:

“Mmmmm…. cardboard…. “

2. Next picture of unfinished staircase:

“I want to lick them.”

Next picture of some dude installing the kitchen’s SECOND DISHWASHER… yes, you read that correctly.

“Excuse me, but who the hell needs 2 dishwashers?  Especially if they have grown children?!  And don’t even get me started on the WATER FOUNTAIN she is installing..”

Really, that last one had nothing to do with my pica – I’m just irritated that some people have enough expendable income to just install a second dishwasher in the kitchen they are building, when mostly I spend all my time forgetting to load the only dishwasher that I have, wondering if what is in there is clean or dirty, using most things anyway if I can’t find any actual material fleckage attached.  Truth be told, old dried grunt on the side of something in our dishwasher isn’t an indicator that they dishes haven’t been washed because even things that are washed for 72 hours straight in our dishwasher are likely to still have an old tomato or smashed bean attached to it. It’s a coin toss.

Comedians that I hate so much, I will almost drive off the road to not listen to them on my XM:

1.  Larry the Cable Guy

2.  Jeff Foxworthy

3.  Lisa Lampanelli

Comedians that I love so much, I will endanger other drivers with my hysterical laughing while driving and listening to them on my XM:

1. Greg Proops

2. Demetri Martin

3. Lewis Black

Minnesota terms that still annoy me, even though I’ve lived here for 14 years:

1. Ish

2. Spendy

3. Pop

Things one should just generally not order from a snackbar:

1.  sushi

2.  eggs, in any form

3.  fondue
