As heard from my house, this weekend:

The Setting: Our house, me cooking tacos, Craig reading, Cooper being wild;
Me: "Craig, do you think if I died you'd start cooking or would you and Cooper just starve to death?"
Craig: "I've actually been cooking a fair amount lately."
Me: "WHAT HAVE YOU COOKED?!"
Craig: I boiled some eggs...yeah probably I'll have to learn to cook if you die."


The Setting: Our house, me cooking (AGAIN), Craig and Cooper playing;
Cooper: "(insert high pitched squeal here)"
Craig: "Son, boy's don't screech."
Cooper: "(insert even higher, louder and more blood curdling scream here)"
Craig: "SON! I told you boys don't scream, only little girls scream, yuck, you don't want to be a little girl do you?!"
Cooper: "Uh huh, little girl! (screeeeeech)"
Craig: (In a most disapproving tone): "SON!!!"


The Setting: All of us in the truck, chattering.
Me: (to Cooper): "Do you know your name?"
Cooper: "B-L-T-P"
Me: (laughing) "I didn't ask could you spell your name sillygoose!"
Cooper: (laughing)
Me: "Your name is Cooper. And you spell it CO-PP-ER." (I chanted in a sing song-y voice)
Cooper: "douper."
Me: "Yep Cooper, CO-PP-ER."
Craig: "Uh babe, how did you spell that?"
Me: (kind of annoyed) "Craig I'm trying to teach him something, I'm making it sing song-y so he'll remember it "CO-PP-ER."
Craig: "Yeah that's COPPER...like the metal..."
Me: "AWWW CRAP!"
Later that night while telling the story to my mom and Bec;
Bec: "Cooper, can you spell your name now?"
Cooper "B-O-O-B"
Me: (hysterical with laughter) "Craig he just spelled his first word, BOOB!"
Craig: "AWWW CRAP!"
