Hodayah Seuss - 2019 - with pictures

For yesterday's gem from Hodayah, we were reading "left foot left foot" (Dr. Seuss's "The Foot Book") and these pages went something like this:

Me: Small feet, big feet, here come ____

Hodayah: Abba!

Me: Abba?  Is Abba a pig?!

H: Abba's a pig!

Me:. What's mommy?

H:. Mommy's a cow!

Me:. Uh-huh.  Ok.

        (Next page) His feet, her feet...

H: that's Abba's feet and that's Hodayah's feet!

Me: and who's this one? (Pointing to the tall orange guy on the right page)

H: that's Dod Simcha Atik.

There you have it folks.  My family in a Dr. Seuss books explained by my toddler.

Sound Logic - 2019 - with pictures

Yesterday, while we were out, my daughter did this (including lines on her face and legs not pictured).  When my babysitter asked her about it, here's how that went:

Daughter:. My Abba told me not to color on myself.

Babysitter:. Then why did you do it?!

Daughter:. My Abba is not here.  

🤦. I am in so much trouble!

It did not come off her hands.  She went to daycare like that.  I don't even care.

Screwdrivers

Here's a really funny story that is definitely not rated PG.  My 2.5 year old son's baby doll came with a bottle that my almost 5 year old daughter likes to pretend is a screw driver.  She takes it around the house and will start screwing things that have screws, like the door knob, or a hinge. 

The other day, she chased my son around the house yelling "Hillelly, come here, I want to screw you!" and his response was "Screw me Hodayah, screw me!"

And tonight, while I was changing Hillelly in the bathroom, while Hodayah was on the toilet and I was changing him in the bathroom, she kept screaming, "Hillelly, I'm gonna screw your peen!  I'm gonna screw your peen!" and he yelled back "screw my peen!  screw my peen!"

I might have to retell this at the bridal showers.

Dad Jokes

 This morning, the following conversation happened:

Hodayah: I'm not hot.

Mo Berow: Hi Not Hot...

Hodayah: Nooo...I'm NOT hot!

Moshe: Hi NOT Hot!

Hodayah: NOOOO!!! I'm NOT HOT!

Moshe: Hi NOT HOT!

Hodayah: Please no thank you. I don't like when you do that.

I feel you, kiddo.

Commas, Abba!

Actual conversation tonight:

Hillelly:. "I'm drawing, Abba!"

Mo Berow :. "You're drawing Abba??"

Hillelly:. "I'm not drawing Abba.  I'm [just] drawing."

Silly Abba!  Hillelly is on to you!

Art History Lesson

This morning, Hodayah asked me if "Vincent Go Away" had hair on his ear.  It took me a few minutes to realize she was talking about the missing ear of Vincent Van Gogh, who will henceforth forever be referred to by the Berow family as "Vincent Van Gogh Away".

I'm still laughing at that one!
