Cadenisms

I have to share just 3 of the funniest things Caden has said lately because I never want to forget them. I also have to warn you now that at least one of these comments, though hysterical (I mean side splitting hilarious!) was totally inappropriate and prompted a discussion about what is okay to say and what is not.

crickwits in Cadenish = crickets in English

Caden says to Doug this afternoon after golfing with Truck Papa and Uncle Tim, "Ya needs to put you stupid golf bag away." Followed by laughter from Doug and a discussion about not saying stupid.

And now, for the one you've all been waiting for. This is good, very good. I'd say a golf medal winner on the show Kids Say the Darndest Things.

Yesterday afternoon, Caden and I stopped by my parents' house just to say hi. Caden got to playing with my dad's back scratcher and offered to scratch my back. Great! He did so for a few minutes. Then my darling son offered to scratch Papa's back. Papa suggested perhaps Caden scratch Papa's belly since it was easier to reach as Papa was sitting on the couch. Caden happily scratched Papa's belly a few times. Then out of the clear blue, Caden navigates the back scratcher a bit south of the belt buckle line and announces, "Now I scratch you penis!!" Repeat 3 times loudly before I could stop laughing long enough to tell him to stop.

So inappropriate, yet so funny!!!

My dad was a pro . . . acted so cool, like what Caden said was equivalent to announcing something as dull as the grass is green.

My mom on the other hand first was so shocked I though I would need to use my CPR skills, but once she recovered she laughed so hard the tears started rolling. Her one and only comment, "I didn't even know he knew that word!"

NOTES:
#1 ~ Caden knows the correct name for his man parts. It took a LOT of convincing, but I managed to get Doug to agree that back when Caden was learning his body parts we would use the correct names and only the correct names so as not to confuse the poor boy. This is the first time that doing so has caused us any grief.

#2 ~ I did intentionally type "you" instead of your in Caden's quotes. That's how he says it when he refers to someone else's possessions. My high school English teachers will have to forgive me and just get over it. I know it won't be cute forever, but right now it's adorable. Someday I promise to teach him the proper way.
