a seinfeld vocabulary

in the last two weeks, aidan has been picking up phrases, repeating them and using them randomly like mad. something flipped his language switch into overdrive. i have to be careful; he has already been exposed to mommy's litany of swear words. oops.

as responsible parents, paul and i are making sure to teach him 'please,' 'thank you' 'i'm sorry' and all the other polite phrases expected of a well-behaved child. but we're also having a bit of fun with him. hopefully he won't hold it against us.

we started with, "you're kiddin' me!" which sometimes comes out 'you're killin' me,' which is actually funnier.

yesterday, he learned "get out!" ala elaine on seinfeld, complete with the shove. (he doesn't shove very hard; we made it more of a hands on shoulders kind of thing."

perhaps "giddyap" or "salsa" will be next. stay tuned!
