I Don't Speak Eight-Year-Old-ese

I took my 9, 8, and 6 year-old daughters grocery shopping with me this afternoon.


Scene: standing in front of the assortment of frozen breakfast items


Me: "L., what kind of waffles do you want?"

L., jumping up and down, : "Boobs! Boobs! Boobs!"

Me: <bewildered stare>

S: "She means blueberry."

Me: "Ooh, okay." <I put a box of blueberry waffles in the cart.>

S: "I have to translate for her."


Yeah, I can see that. And thank you.

    1. Yeah, if I hadn't been so caught off-guard by her response, I could've said something intelligent like, "Maybe when you're older, kid." :)
