ERIN-”ISMS”
My little Erin is such a performer! She has been since she was born. She used to fake “cough” when she was only one month old. She has always mimicked anything she sees, which most children do, however Erin does it to perfection. Not only mimicking words & actions, but facial expressions & mannerisms as well. So here is where I have decided to write down all of the funny things that she says & does! I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do!!
“Bob” (this was erin’s first word! which makes sense because I say “bobby” a lot & everyone else calls him “bob” however when it is a 4 month old going around saying “Bob” it seems hilarious! She used roll around the house & point to things that were bobby’s & say “bob!” wow! it that seems so young for a child to do that but she was amazing & did most things early. She was rolling over from her back to stomach at only 3 days old! (seriously!!)
“I’m not Korean!! I’m a girl!!” (this is what she said when i first started trying to explain to her that she & I & Tre are Korean.
“Look! Mommy! The Koreans have a house! With a floor! Just like ours!” (Okay so we went to some friends house & before we went I was trying to tell erin that they are Korean like we are. Well this is what she said when we walked in the front door!! I wanted to die!)
“Mommy! The Koreans keep running away from me!!” (this is what she stopped to tell me when she was playing with the little kids that were at the house in the aboved mentioned incident!! again i wanted to die!)
“Hi!” “That means “Hi!” in spanish!” This is what she told me one day out of the blue! I tried to tell her she was wrong but she didn’t believe me!
“Mommy, me & you are brown & daddy & tre are white!” this is Erin’s new observation since it has been summer & we have gotten fairly tan, but daddy & tre have not!! i think it’s cute, but bobby doesn’t.
I am going to premise this one with this. Erin has a very vivid imagination that knows no boundaries. So one day we were in wal-mart & Erin was in the cart. She was pretending there were monsters lurking. So there is this VERY Tall VERY muscular VERY handsome black guy walking towards us, & Erin looks at him & screams. Like a very shrill scream & then points & says “Mommy it’s a scary monster!!” I wanted to floor to open up & swallow me! Luckily the guy had a very good sense of humor & just started laughing!!
“I did it on purpose!” this is erin’s new answer to why did you do that. since she used to always say it was an accident & i tried to explain to her that if she chooses to do it then it’s not an accident, but now she thinks it’s okay because she did it on purpose!
this is me fixing erin’s hair the other day…erin: “That hurts” me: sorry, but i have to pull it tight so that your bangs stay back because i don’t like them. erin: “you don’t”? me: “no, i don’t & you had better not cut your hair anymore!!” erin: “but mom, tre’s therapy girls like my bangs!” me: “groan!” ………….she had remembered from like 2 months ago when tre’s therapist told her she liked her bangs!
erin: “Mom?” “What are some things that are orange?” me: well…you tell me some things that are orange… erin: “well oranges are orange, & pumpkins are orange!” me: very good! erin: “mom? are orange umbrella’s orange?” me: yes… erin: “are orange cars orange?, & orange buildings orange? & “orange mailboxes orange?” (this goes on for about 10min!)
erin: “mom? when i was a little baby, did you name me an erin moon scott baby?”
erin: (looking at her baby pictures) “look mom that was me when i was an erin moon scott baby!”
erin: (she says this to tre’s bus everyday) “bye! thanks for bringing me my brother home!!”
me: “hey erin, tre’s invisible! see because he’s wearing camo!” erin: “mom…that’s not even funny!” me: hey i laugh at your jokes!! erin: “i laugh at your jokes too! but that’s not a joke because it’s not funny!!” : ( & yes she is only four years old!
this was a day when i had to pick erin up from school early. erin: “mom, i missed recess…” me: i’m sorry erin: “mom…what is recess anyway?” me: well thats when you go outside to play erin:”awwww……man!!!”
erin: mom, my eye hurts!!…i think there must be an eyeball in it!!”
This is Erin talking about the new baby. Erin: “So if it’s a girl can she wear my clothe s when she’s big?” me: sure Erin: “and if it’s a boy he can wear Tre’s clothes when he’s big?” me: sure Erin: “and if it’s a Hello Kitty then it can wear Hello Kitty’s clothes?” me: ummm…..it’s not going to be a Hello Kitty. Erin: “well it might be.”
These are a few commercials that Erin has been repeating lately…Just picture ordinary goings on and then these things popping out of her mouth at completely random times!
“Happy cows come from California!”
“It’s a bright idea from Discover Card!”
“It’s my money and I want it now!”
“Mommy, you and Daddy are the perfect pair for me!”
“Mommy you are always warm like a blanket!”
“Mommy last night I had a dream that I was square like spongebob & I don’t even like spongebob!!”
Me: Erin don’t walk on that with bare feet. Erin: “I don’t have bear feet! I just have kid feet!”
