Specifically, I've noticed lately that Cael and Graham can turn any word into a verb. Whether they are "backyarding" or "Mickey Mousing", they get their point across very clearly by transforming the traditional person, place or thing into an action.
Sometimes it is cute.
"Here you go, Mommy. I arted this for you at school."
Sometimes it is funny.
"Where is Graham?
"He's downstairs underpantsing. He's all underpantsed in Thomas the Train."
Sometimes it is just plain disturbing.
"I was hide-and-seeking you last night, Mom. You didn't see me, and Daddy was snoring. But I saw you. And it was dark and quiet."
I think I might be nightmaring tonight.
If Cael's newfound writing and reading skills are any indication, their grammatical quirks should work themselves out after a few years of school. And if not, they might just feel the pride of adding "naughtying" to the dictionary right alongside "selfie" and "twerk".
Fantabulous.
