With an almost-4-year old, there are plenty of opportunities for communication problems. Different terminology is a frequent cause. What most people would call a “wrapper” or “peeling”, Titus used to call a “spacklus” (for reasons still unknown to us).
A little background: when Titus visits the bathroom, he uses a “stool” (step-stool) to get up on the toilet. Grandpa and Grandma use the word “stool” for toilet. Now here’s the story about a post-bathroom visit conversation:
Grandpa: Who’s going to flush the stool?
Titus: Nobody’s going to flush the stool?
Grandpa: Who’s suppose to flush the stool?
Titus: Nobody.
Grandpa: I mean, who’s going to flush the toilet?
Titus: I will flush the toilet.
This made me laugh so hard!! I love thinking about what was going on in both of their heads as this conversation was taking place!
Hahaha!! This is just so funny every time it happens…those furrowed little eyebrows of Titus’ are just hilarious!
