Dawsonisms Part II
The second installment of funny things the toddler said:
My husband works in a grocery store and we often get the grocery flyers so that I know what’s on sale. I left this week’s flyer on the coffee table after I was finished making my list.
Dawson was playing with his cars on the table and saw the flyer and exclaimed, “Mumma, I need these!” When I looked up, he was pointing to the Oreo cookies on sale, two for $5.
Okay buddy, you make the list next time.
When we were in Pulaski three weeks ago, I took Dawson to the parade that Sunday. Many of the floats tossed candy to the kids and some parade walkers were handing out flyers, can coolers, match books and other promotional things to the adults at the parade. I put the Green Bay Packers schedule and True Value match book into Dawson’s candy bag because I had forgotten to bring my purse.
When we got home, Dawson was searching for the perfect piece of candy in his bag when he found the match book. He said, “Heeeeey! These are yucky! I gotta throw them in the garbage!”
Hmmm. Yes, those are yucky. Who taught you that? What a smart kid.
When I was packing for the BlogHerCon two weeks ago, Dawson was sitting on the bed watching me. I was running circles between the bathroom and bedroom trying to find what I needed.
At one point I sat on the bed and said, “I’m going crazy! What if I forget something?” Little Dawson looked at me and asked, “Mumma needs prozac?” with a grin on his face.
Thank you, Uncle Nathan, for teaching your nephew to say this. I can’t wait for the day he says it IN PUBLIC and people start staring at me.
He just keeps getting smarter and funnier every day.

The best part isn’t that he learned the phrase (“Mumma needs prozac?”) but that he seems also to have learned how and when to USE it! How funny.

He’s so cute! And smart. A 2 for $5 deal on Oreos is one hell of a bargain.

No kidding! Oreos are so pricey unless they are on sale!

Mumma needs a prozac indeed – funny!
By the way, (in response to the previous post about spacing children), my sister and I are six years apart, and we’re close as can be.

amaras_mom, he sure is hilarious!
Lady M, I’m still mad at my bro. And I’m so glad to hear that long spaces between children work well!
