I am with Allie. I read Claudia the Junie B Jones books this summer and found her to be a brat. Ha!
I love these posts. So funny!
omg hahah!!! Anna slays me.
LOL! I don't know anything about the Junie B. Jones books, but now I'm curious!
Thank you for sharing these gems. And I agree with Emily - Darth makes no sense. I know it's a translation thing, but still.
Junie B Jones is naughty. She gets sent to the principal, etc. The books are written from her point of view so they can be funny. What bothers me about them is the intentional use of wrong words b/c it's the thought of a kid.
These are two recent conversations with my talkative just turned four year old son, A.
A get s new toy. It is a small robot with blue wings. You push the blue wings down, press a button, and woosh, they pop up. I show this to him. He tries it, and says in a super excited voice - "Mommy, I deployeded them!"
A and I have been working on semi independently getting dressed and undressed. Today I forgot he was wearing a button down shirt, and I asked him to start to change for bed. He spends a few talkative minutes in his room, and then comes over to me, in mine. He is trying to unbutton the shirt....
A - "Mommy, can you help me? I can't get the penny out of the nipple!?!"
I am assuming penny = button, and nipple (?!) = button hole. I almost lost it.
