AJ and I talk about all kinds of things during the course of each day, ranging from serious to silly. But today at lunch we were doing a little role playing and I realized if anyone were listening to us, we would have sounded like wierdos. We were playing the roles of characters from the movie Cars. I was being Lightning McQueen and AJ was Frank, the combine that chases McQueen out of his field after McQueen and Mater go "tractor tipping"...here's the strange sound bite that followed:
Me (McQueen): Did you like it when I revved my loud engine and tipped over all your tractors?
AJ (Frank): Um, no. Not Really. I tried to harvest you when you did that.
Another thing AJ has been really interested in lately is our body's systems and how they work. He can now describe all the things that happen to his food as it moves through his digestive tract. It usually sounds like a script when he tells us, and here's the info as he sees it (I'll keep trying to get it on video, but yesterday the camera memory card was filled up half way through the description!):
"First my mouth and teeth grind up my food, and then the throat takes it all the way down to my stomach. The stomach breaks it down, and then it goes through my intestings and they take all that my body needs. When there is nothing left in the food, pee fills up my ba-ladder like a cup and the pee comes out my wiener. The poop waits in the rectum and then it squeezes it out my heiney like a tube."
It's interesting how he mixes the anatomical names with his names for things, and though this might sound a little gross to those without kids, we have become accustomed to this kind of talk around here!
