The Boy Terror speaks

Boy Terror has a word. Only one, but he is using his word as much as he can. He says "oh-oh". I know, it's not a big word. But it covers a number of situations.
He drops apple chunks off his chair onto the floor. "Oh-oh."
I lean over to pick apple chunks off the floor, and he drops one in my hair. Sees my face. "Oh-oh."
He falls on his ass for the gazillionth time today. "OH-OHHH."
The cat pukes on the floor. "Oh-oh."
While I'm changing his butt, he lets loose a stream of pee, straight up into the air. Watching it sprinkle all over the place, he gazes at me very seriously, and says "oh-oh".

Yes, I love the seriousness on their face when they say it. We are just finishing that stage. Except for the peeing part. We've got girls.

Oh, I use the oh-oh all the time. Are we supposed to outgrow that?

Hi, Michele sent me. I guess all I can say is "Uh-Oh".

Actually, I'm a blogger, there is no way I can stop at that. Isn't early childhood linguistics fun? Just wait!

Wow! That's my Boy Terror's only word, too!

Seems lots of writers are reminding me lately of when my boy was little. He did the same thing (pee all over me) and say uh-oh.

I forgot to say Michele sent me.

Hello, Michele sent me.

My boy used to say "uh oh" all the time. The jig was up when I realized he said it most often right BEFORE he dropped something from his high chair.

He's 19 now, and doesn't say it till after he messes up now.
