Mall mayhem

Yesterday, Daddy took Georgie to the mall so Mommy could clean up the house. Georgie dragged his beloved stuffed penguin, Gunter, with him and carried him throughout the mall. When they were on the second floor, all of a sudden Georgie chucked Gunter over the railing and laughed hysterically as he landed below. Luckily, a group of teenagers saw the whole episode unfold and tossed Gunter back. All in a day's work of being a Pest!

(This reminded us of when Richard decided to jump into the fountain at the Pioneer Place mall, soaking himself to waist and forcing Mommy to buy him new pants and shoes.)

More Pestyisms

1) Weedabook or Weedabook NOW!: Means read this book to me now, or else I will keep shoving it in your face until you submit to my will. Right now his favorites are the Elmo books and Alphabet Trucks books he got from Grandma and Papa.

2) BM: Means "the end." What Georgie says when he flips to the end of the book while you're mid-sentence. He then slams the book shut and shoves another one in your face.

3) Watchashow: Means "watch a show." Georgie will plop down on the couch and shout "watchashow" until you find something with Elmo for him to watch.

4) Webel: Means "level," aka video games. He shouts "webel!" whenever his big brothers are playing video games. This is a corruption of "level," as in, "Daddy, can I please finish this level?" Georgie saw an ad with Super Mario on it at Target and shouted "webel!"

Georgie vocabulary update

Georgie has been rather slow to talk, preferring to express his fussy wants and needs with his fists. Now that his vocabulary is exploding, we'd like to share some highlights:

1) Gee-doo: Means "thank you." Sometimes he says "gee-doo" over and over again to compel you to do what he wants. Mommy and Daddy call this his "aggressive gee-doo."

2) Bo bell-bome: Means "you're welcome."

3) Fie-tuck: Means "fire truck," but includes other large vehicles such as FedEx trucks. Every vehicle Georgie sees is a "fie-tuck" or a "boo bus," as explained below.

4) Boo bus: Means "school bus." Also refers to any bus or train he sees.

5) I did it, dies!: Means "I did it, guys!" Georgie usually exclaims this when he's accomplished a particularly naughty feat of pudgetry.

More to come later once we think of more "Pestyisms."
