2008 dominicisms

dominic has always been a great talker. he could put full sentences together well before the age he was "supposed" to. i've been keeping a journal of some of the funny things he says and i decided to start publishing them here on the blog.

to catch up on what i've documented since he was 3, here are my journal entries:

may 2008
mommy: "who is the best cook?"
dominic: "mommy"

mommy: "what do you think about nanny's cooking?"
dominic: "only when i have to sleep with them"

mommy: "when did you sleep with them?"
dominic: "when i was camping."

mommy: "do you want to go camping again with nanny?"
dominic: "no. that was too boring."

october 2008
during the presidential campaign, i did a little interview with dominic to learn about his political position.
mommy: "are you a democrat or a republican?"
dominic: "what did you say?"

mommy: "are you a democrat or a republican?"
dominic: "i'm a boy"

mommy: "well, do you prefer elephants or donkeys?"
dominic: "donkeys"

mommy: "so you're a democrat. are you voting for obama then?"
dominic: "mommy, i don't want to be a donkey."

mommy: "so what do you think about these high gas prices?"
dominic: "um, twenty dollars."

mommy: "would you vote for horton if he ran for president?"
dominic: "he doesn't got any presents"

mommy: "if you were president, what would you do about global warming?"
dominic: "cold"

mommy: "there's been an awful lot of rain in the midwest. if you were president, what would you do to help?"
dominic: "i'd get a sump pump and a tube."

mommy: "would you give them money?"
dominic: "um, twenty dollars."

while trick-or-treating, dominic pointed up to a tree and said to my mom; "one day, when i was a baby, my mommy threw me up in that tree and i couldn't get down 'cuz i was stuck."

december 2008
