Funny Jack

Just a few things that make me laugh...

Jack says "hot" a lot, either about his food, or the weather, or the patio stones out back on a warm day. He hasn't always known what it means, I think, since he says it when he gets cold things, too, like a cold glass of milk. He says, "hot," and holds a hand up and makes side to side motions with it, as you might if you think a film was so-so. "Hot," he says. "Hot."

He likes to say "sit," and this one he knows what it means. "Sit" when he wants to sit in a chair. Frequently "sit" when he wants to sit in YOUR chair, which sometimes means sit in your lap, and sometimes means, move. And when you move, and he sits there, he indicates another chair, where he wants you to sit. "Sit," he says. "Sit."

We don't watch a ton of TV with him, but we do watch a little Noggin, which includes Jack's Big Music Show (yes, it's actually called that) and the various songs by the "host," this yellow animated Moose who I believe is called Moose A. Moose. Anyway, at the end of the day they do a "Goodbye Song," and he loves it (I do too), and he waves goodbye and says goodbye, and then when it ends, he says "En!", which I take to mean "Again!" because we have TiVo and can rewind and play it again. Which we do, and then he say "En!" again, and we watch it again. And he waves goodbye, and if we're lucky he smiles and bounces and kind of dances in place. It's a fun tune.

He calls Charlie, our dog, "Teddy." He also calls other dogs "Teddies." Like, the Irish Setters down the street, that he starts walking over to see. "Teddy," he says. "Teddy." I don't know why.

But it's funny, every time, every day.
