Eight Dollar

Well. On this day Jonge was busy. Busy going to work to 'make money'. Whenever asked how much he had made he would respond by saying "Eight Dollar".


This went on for quite a while over the course of several days, even.
Today he kept handing me a slip of paper on which he had scribbled a few things. Everytime he handed it to me, he would say "Eight Dollar!",
His mommy saw him doing this when she came home from work today. She remarked that he keeps handing her that same paper, looks at her intently, then says "Eight Dollar".
Suddenly, Daughter cracked the code!
For all of Jonge's life we have met for breakfast on Saturday mornings. When we are done, THGGM picks up the bill, looks at it, and announces that everyone owes...
..."Eight Dollars".
The boy has been paying attention.

How funny!
My oldest had a similar thing. Every time we would get in the car he would say "gi gonk". It took us several trips to figure out, that was the sound the blinkers made every time we turned!
Giggle the young ones sure are cute!

Too precious! It's funny what they pick up - and how it sticks with them.

At this age they are total sponges that is just too funny. I would give you eight dollars if I could kiss his cheeks!
