Larkinisms

Larkin cracks me up every day. She says the funniest stuff. This week she has been telling me to "Close the light off." when she wants me to turn off the light, and when she is in the bathroom and wants privacy she will say, "Close the lid." instead of "Close the door."

I spent some time with Larkin at her school on Friday and noticed a little boy named Luke who was trying really hard to play with her. He even tried to give her a smooch. She seemed oblivious, but I was curious if she did play with him at other times. In the car later I asked her if Luke was her friend.

Her response: Puke?

Me: No, Luke. Is Luke your friend?

Larkin: Puke?

Me: Luke. In your class. Is Luke your friend at school?

Larkin: Oh! Lukie. Yeah. He my friend.

I was cracking up.

{Puke? Is Puke my friend? No mom ... puke is not anyone's friend!}

Larkin loves pretending to put her baby doll to sleep. She carries this baby around all day and tells it "Shhhh" and "I love you baby" so I asked Larkin what her baby's name is.

Her response: Oink.

Me: Oink? Thats what a pig says.

Larkin: Yeah.

Me: Is your baby's name Megan?

Larkin: No. She name Oink.

Me: Your baby's name is Oink?

Larkin: Yeah. Oink Oink.

Me: Okay. I love you Oink Oink.

Larkin: I love you baby Oink.
