Best Evening in Parenthood History
December 18th, 2008
We’re working on names with Maddie. She’s very good at saying “daddy” and both “mama” and “mommy.” However, “Maddie” eludes her. The closest we’ve gotten is “Manny.” (Which, coincidentally, happens to be the name of my ex-boyfriend. Gerald doesn’t find this as amusing as I do, fyi.) Tonight at dinner, we were practicing “What’s your name?” About half the time we got “Manny” in response and the other half we got “Name!” as her answer. Gerald asked her again what her name was and I belted out “MY NAME IS KIIIIIID ROOOOOCK!” complete with fists of rock. Maddie thought this was the funniest thing evah and began shouting “ROCK!” in her best rock star voice. She even tried her darnest to make the fist of rock, but all she could manage was a regular fist.
She also says “DUUUDE!” and “suckah!” on a regular basis. All of these things are from me. I call Gerald “duuude” all the time, and I’m the one calling people “suckah.” I suppose I should be embarrassed or ashamed, but I’m not. I think it’s awesome. This is a perfect example of why I don’t have any other “mom friends.” My kid’s already a bad influence.

Mine say “Oh MAN!” and “Oh my GAHD.” And if you ask them “Is it magic?,” they’ll say, “No, it’s SCIENCE!!!”
hahaha! d says “Oh crap!”
ha – oops.
I’m your “mom friend” and I think DUUUDE rocks!!!
That is AWESOME. Totally awesome.
you’ve got me!!!
my son calls people
chicken lips
and
stinky face
nope.
not my fault.
My girl totally says, ‘Aw MAAAAAN!’ and ‘Oh noe!!’ Very funny, these kids.
My birth boys go around finger-shooting people and things. They learned this from the older siblings. They also know all the best cuss words. That’s from me.
peace…
When asked what my name was when she was little Giggles would tell me it was “Honey” But she also thought I was a tall black woman because of my hair. (People’s color was based on their hair color…LOL-which is totally cool because we don’t see people as any different)
My sister said Dude all the time, until I named her cat “Dude” I got all her boys on board, it was hilarious. Especially when she would get paper work from the vet.
A sidenote, D’s and R’s in the middle of words were harder for my girls, so it may be a while until she says Maddie.
Hi Erica,
