Story time

Buddance and I had the following conversion today as I was giving him lunch:

Me: What would you like to eat? An orange or a banana?*

Bud: AAARRRNNNNNNEE! (Translation: orange!)

Me: (Super high silly voice): An ORAAANGE? Reeeally?!

Bud: (Grins wildly, and does a little bit of a dance in one spot): Yea!

Me: (Super duper high silly voice): Reeeealy? You really like them?!

Bud: (Looks at me as if I am a little crazy, still smiling): YEA!!

Me: Okay, cutepants. Here is your orange.

If I was that over the moon about eating every day, I am sure I would enjoy my meals a heck of a lot more.

*Let the record show that Bud consumed more than just an AAARRRNNNE for lunch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few key points before this story begins:

Bud has morphed from calling his brother TT to Ta Ta.

Bud knows that Ta Ta cannot eat food because he has no teeth, Ta Ta can only have milk.

Bud also knows that Momma gives milk or that Daddy gives milk in a bottle.

(Aaaaand I think you see where this is going...)

Bud and I were doing some food shopping the other day, and we decided to pick up some whole milk for Bud. As we put the milk in the cart Bud points at the milk carton, shakes his head no and says "Ta Ta", then he nods his head yes and says "Mahume".

Translation: T cannot have that milk in the carton, that milk is for M.

I agree with Bud, "Yes you are right, this milk is not for T, this milk we are buying is for M."

Bud then looks at me, nods his head yes, points to my chest, and says "Ta Ta."

Translation: You need to start calling your brother something else.
