Tassie one-liners

A few recent utterances have made us chuckle:

  • Tasman was pouting the other day in the bathroom after her bath. She turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. Upon observing the expression on her own face, she asked, "What's the matter, Tasman?"
  • Kirsti has been pretty stressed the last few weeks due to a million things going on all at once. She told Tasman one day, "Mommy is too busy." Tasman made some effort to mimic this sentence, so Kirsti said it again. "Mommy is . . ." Tasman repeated, "Mommy is . . ." Kirsti finished the sentence, ". . . too busy." Then Tasman said, "too busy." At this point, Tasman paused, as if struck by some keen insight, and then added, "One busy. Two busy."
  • We recently hung a picture of Jesus on the wall behind our couch. Tasman came up to me and asked, "Is that Jesus?" "Yes," I responded. Then Tasman declared, "Jesus is funny!"

Seriously... the kid doesn't know what a homonym or heterograph is? I was reciting Frost by age 2.

No really seriously.. this is hilarious. She is adorable. It was good to see you guys at Thanksgiving. Too bad we could stay for long. I am looking forward to seeing you all at Christmas

I think Justin is the only other person who gets that. I'm not even sure my wife will get that. :)

Of course your wife won't get that, but she should feel privileged to a certain degree. If I remember correctly, the pictures were Kirsti, Kirsti, Jesus, Woody, Kirsti, Kirsti. Something to that effect. I didn't know what Justin looked like until you got married.
