Vocabulary lessons with Kate

It seems like we’ve been having lots of the “where did she come up with that?” moments at our house lately… whenever Kate says a word that strikes me funny, I like to ask her what that word means. Here are a few of her recent definitions.

Packrat: noun. use – “Mommy you are such a packrat!” Definition according to Kate’s Dictionary: Someone who won’t throw anything away (hard to argue with that!)

Wig: noun. use – “Mommy, will you buy me a Hannah Montana wig?” Definition according to Kate’s Dictionary: It’s something that has a lot of hair. See, they take a hair board and saw off all the hair, and then they saw hair onto another thing and that makes a wig.

Scaredy Cat: noun. use – “You’re a scaredy cat!” Definition according to Kate’s Dictionary: A cat that’s scared of something.

  1. I seem to remember a little GIRL who was scared of a cat…or all cats…even harmless little kittens…it’s amaizing she grew up to be a normally functioning adult. 🙂

  2. I love it when my son comes up with words or phrases and uses it correclty.. “actually mom, I would like only a little ketchup”.

    So sweet.

  3. Emily, are you really a packrat? I wouldn’t have guessed it. Kate and Joshua should do an “All About My Mommy” blogg. Jenny can interview Kate and you can interview Joshua. We might all learn some real fawsome stuff!!! Do it, do it!

  4. My middle one really popped my eyeballs the other day! I told her not to sass her daddy cause to talk ugly might make people cry. She looked at me with the most serious look and said “Daddy’s just a “titty baby” isn’t he?” The things they learn at preschool!
