Funny words

Two funny stories about Jack with words.

After dinner one night this weekend we played a game. We went around the table and tried to get Jack to repeat the word. I started, "Jack, say 'Daddy.'" Slam dunk, Jack says daddy all the time. Then it was Mom's turn, "Jack, say 'Mommy.'" Another slam dunk, of course Jack says "Mommy" all the time. Madeline goes next, then Terra and back to Dad. We started with Jack's favorite words, Cookie, truck, fire truck, train, airplane. Jack is eating up the attention and we are laughing hysterically. Jack's into it now, he's rolling. More words come out, airplane, apple juice, rain, tree, cracker, milk, everyone's scoring and the game is tied.

Eventually it got back to Mom, and she pauses. "C'mon Mom," Madeline says and Mom replies, "I'm thinking..." As if on cue, Jack comes right back, "I'm thinking!" Everyone laughed so loud. Jack loved it, everyone did.

Then on Sunday night we were playing Uno with our neighbors. I was down to my second to last card, played it, and Mom gets me, "You didn't say UNO!!" Ohh, I was so aggravated, I picked up my two card penalty and repeated "UNO, UNO, UNO" several times. Then Jack screams out, "UNO!"
