During our last visit to Germany we were going out on a family outing with the usual suspects. As we have a cool new little nephew my son asked me the following question:”Daddy, do we have the kid cart?” To which my chuckling answer was naturally….”the whaaaaaat?” So, any guesses what the kid cart is? … More Things a Germerican Kid Says #6
Only a Germerican kid can get his spelling test both right and wrong in the same answer!
Today, while my son was talking to my wife, I asked him to repeat what he said. Nothing. Ask again. Still nothing. When I make sure I get his attention and that he is listening, it went like this: Me: “Hey you, tell me what you said to Mama” Him: “But Daddy, I’m sprechen German!” *Sprechen=Talking (to)
Today my son was playing and decided to put on my shoes, after which he asked my wife this: “Mama, kannst du die zu-tie-en?” (Mama can you zu-tie-en them?)
Him: Daddy, I can’t open the door. Me: Why not? Him: Because I gelocked it!
So, we’re driving down the road and my 4-year-old says to me: “Look Daddy, a BMW drive by!” Get it? As in drive-by-shooting! Hilarious!
My 4-year-old was sitting on my lap today. When he got down he said “Uh oh Daddy, I tooted on your pants!”. Thanks for the info, buddy.
