Kenyonism

My three year old is really coming into her own. She says things all the time that make me wonder if she really is in fact 3.

-I'm sure you have heard the saying "Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear"...here was Kenyon's version..."stinky feet, smell my feet, give me something to eat, I don't care, smell my stinky feet"!!

-We were standing in my closet and I was trying to find something to wear...she touched my arm and said "mommy, don't panic"!

-I'm not a big fan of listening to children's music...I think it's much more beneficial to the kids to listen to "regular" music...this also helps my sanity. We listen to ALL kinds of music...top 40, country, rock, musicals, etc. Well, my kids all have their favorite songs and Kenyon's is Cheap Tricks (actually the "Letters to Cleo" version) "I want you to want me". She calls it Tumma Tumma See Gian. Now, let me explain...see was telling me to play this song and I had NO idea what she was talking about. I was listing songs that we hear and she was getting frustrated saying "NO, tumma tumma see gian"!!!!! Finally, I figured out what she was talking about. In the chorus of the song "I want you to want me" it goes "didn't I didn't I didn't I see you cryin'"...I guess if you sing that fast enough for a 3 year old you hear tumma tumma see gian! I bet you are humming the tune right now to figure it out :-)
