The funny things they say!

So besides me, everyone in my house speaks English as their second language....which means....lots of funny things are said daily! Here are a few:

"Pig Up" which means get up

Maya was mad the other day, so I said...."Maya are you mad?" to which she replied with her arms out wide.... "yes, Maya big mad!"

Our friend Joel is Joke, our friend Ray is Flau, our friend Kitty is Kelly, any girl with brown hair whose name they don't remember is either Julie or Ashley, and our friend Chris (we call him Gerlach) is Gerrrrrilla! They call all babies Kaley, and love to say, hello my name is Flau!!!

Maya came home from school one day after having spanish and said to me while I was in the middle of a sentence, "Hola mommy, no English, stop, no English!"

They think it is hilarious to tell each other and both of us to stop, and "obey mommy, obey!" Maya also tells inanimate objects, to stop, and or obey. For instance, if she trips over the table, she tells the table to stop, if the pizza is hot, she points to the pizza and says, "stop.....obey!"

When ever they don't like something, they say, "Layla, this, no I like!", When they do like something they say "This one Maya I love!". If they want to ask you if you like something they say, "Mommy, this you I love?"

Maya's favorite thing to say is "this again, again" whenever she has to do, eat, or watch something more than once. (Usually it is with much frustruation and "big madness!")

They say "talking" with a true NY accent "Tawlking" even though I don't! When Layla is talking quickly she says tawlky, and looky instead of talking and looking!

Their favorite song is of course Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus. There is a part of the song (for the 2 people in the world who have not yet heard this super catchy tune) that says ...song was on. So, my girls call it "zong is zong", and every time we get in the car they say, "Mommy zong is zong, zong is zong"!

We typically have lots of people over at least once a week, so last Saturday Layla woke up and said, "Mommy tonight, more friends coming eat!"

Layla desperately wants me or my friend Julie to have a baby. So at dinner one night, she said to Julie and her husband Ray (aka Flau)...."Flau, you working, Julie, you home, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, baby, yeah!" She also said to my friend Anne who was pregnant at the time "come on, doctor, (pointing to Anne's belly) 1-2-3 baby out (pretending to yank the baby from her belly!)

When they want you to "come here", or want you to "come on", they say "come in, come in"!

Hope you enjoyed those....they crack me up! As you can imageing there are lots more, so I will try to update with some new cute sayings in sometime soon!!!
