Stuff the Grandkids say – Page 3 – This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!

Battle of the Books

Evie’s team came in 2nd in the Battle of the Books. 12 books, 3 battles with 8 teams. Good Job!!!

I guess Andy has been freaking out his teachers quite a bit. For example, he apparently found a show that’s been teaching him Spanish so he gave his Spanish speaking teacher the entire alphabet in Spanish and a joke about a cat with a bunny hat in Spanish, all with the rolling of the r’s and the whole bit. Then he has a STEAM teacher who was telling me this morning how much he rocked the math she was supposed to be teaching him yesterday. It’s kinda funny. Cuz he’s so nonchalant about it all. Yeah, 2 x 11 is easy, it’s 22. hahaha.

Unhappy Endings

E and I binged Veronica Mars. In the final episode, they killed off one of our favorite characters in a surprise ending. E’s response was “No, no, no. I did NOT like that ending and I think I will write them a strongly worded letter!”

Spell Check

Andy- “Hey, Nana, can we play with the E-Y-E-P-A-D?

It’s Relative

While discussing Dad’s upcoming birthday:

Andy-“Yeah, you only have one more age and then you’re 40!”

Now It’s Languages

Today Andy gave me the alphabet in French. And when I asked, he proceeded to also do it in Spanish.

WTF?

BTW

Nana: “Watch where you’re aiming that thing!”

Andy: “Oh, it’s a penis, by the way!”

Protected: E Makes the Honor Roll

Genius?

I got Andy these 2 puzzles where the pieces have the alphabet on one side and numbers on the other side. One set has black lettering and one has white. At one point today, we were missing one piece. I was looking thru the remaining pieces and he told me the one we needed was green with a white V and 22 on the back. That’s when I noticed that the pieces were laid out with the numbers showing but he was putting together the alphabet side. So I tested him. I took several random pieces. Showed him one side and asked what was on the other side switching between letters and numbers and he got every single one right with hardly any hesitation. Is that genius or savant?

Definitely Reading

Dad was standing in the kitchen and heard Andy muttering to himself: “Betty Boop? Betty Boop! I never watched Betty Boop before!” Dad peeks around the corner and sees Andy bent over the chair reading titles from the DVD cabinet!
