Over the course of the last couple years friends, family and I have taught Reid somethings we probably shouldn’t have.
- He calls sea gulls “dump chickens”
- He knew my first name before he could say “mom” or “mama.” At 10 months old, he’d greet me by saying “Hi, Jim” from his highchair
- He thinks it’s hysterical when somebody “toots”
- At 2, he can work my parents’ DVD player better than they can
- When he talks on the phone or plays with a toy phone, he answers it by saying “What’s Up?”
- I often tell him: “Reid you are an awesome little kid.” Now he tells strangers: “Me awesome little kid.”
- He calls his butt his poop-er-a-tor
- We call the naked run from his bedroom to the tub “going streaking”
- If I pull up to a Dunkin’ Donuts drive thru, Reid asks for french fries
- If you ask him where his “business” is, he points to his crotch
Share what you’ve taught your kids that maybe you shouldn’t have.

Love No. 7!!
Ha! I love it. I’m not a parent, but none of these seem too damaging. Just cute.
I’m 23 and I still call them toots
