Welcome to Lea's World
Where everything is fun, 'cept when its not
Posts
Lea Lingo
- "Deerlick beloved we are gathered here today..." Lea's pun during Punderdome game 5-22
- "Boat, Boat, Boat!" = Danger when there was water coming into the boat on Beavers Bend Lake in 4-22 with Kim
- Puff Puff Piffle make me sniffle — Lea argues that that is the saying, not make me just as small as Sniffles 2017
- Osonate [Aw-son-ate] sauce = Arsenic sauce in the Grinch song "You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!" 2016
- Germ hole to germ hole = a kiss at church during peace be with you when mommy is sick
- anti quote = always comes with finger quotes. I believe she means "And I quote" but she is adamant that it is anti quote. 5-12
- Sam Philips Hand = Philips head screwdriver after Dan told Lea it was named for a man named Philips.
- Compliment = The word Lea kept using instead of Accusation during our first games of clue. As in "I can't make a compliment until I get to room, right?"
- Ark el Harold's Angels Sing and And The Jelly Hosts Proclaim= Hark the Harold Angel's Sing and With Angelic Hosts Proclaim
- "Wolf gloves" = Fox Glove flowers. In a story Lea asked what foxgloves look like, so the next morning she wanted to look them up and asked Dan to look up Wolf gloves. It took us a while to figure out what she was talking about. 8/10
- "mows my teeth" = what the electric tooth brush does
- Seener = Venus I think. As in "I love you to Seener and Mars and back again"
- Box of socks = what's inside a wrapped package so Lea doesn't give the gift way.
- amn't = "I am not" as in "No, mommy I amn't"
- Ep-a-cot = Epcot center. On our Disney trip Lea made this word 3 syllables.
- Ray-B-C = CB Radio. There is a picture of the pigeon talking on the CB Radio in a book and Lea can never get the name right. You know talking on the Ray-B-C.
- Smash 'em Turvy = Smash 'em up Derby. Smashable Turvey is what Lea thought I said, so now when we play cars we play Smashable Turvy.
- skull = pirates. Anything decorated with skulls Lea says are pirates, as in "Your shoes have pirates on them."
- licky pills = cough drop/throat lozenge
- chicken hairs = tiny hairs on mommy. I remember my grandmother calling the tiny mostly invisible hairs on her face "chicken feathers" so I said that to Lea one day. Now even hair on my legs are "chicken hairs" as in sitting in my lap saying, "Mommy your chicken hairs are POKING me!"
- Ouchie Lea! = The natural equivalent to "Ouchie Mama" which I say... me being the mama... so Lea figured out she needed to say "Ouchie Lea" Took me longer to figure out why she said it that way. Makes perfect sense if you're 3.
- Be Patient, Be Calm Mommy =Lea's calming influence on mommy. Her cute little voice when I've spilled something all over the kitchen floor.
- Cotton Ball = Cannon Ball... that's what Lea called Dan's "diving" in the pool, as in "Do another cotton ball Daddy"
- schlopp schlopp = ice cream or treat. It comes from The Dr. Seuss book The Thinks You Can Think. "You can eat schlopp schlopp, you don't have to stop." And there is a picture of two people sitting at a table. Lea said that was Mommy & Daddy, so the next time we went out without Lea I said we were going for Schlopp Schlopp and that she and Grandma could have ice cream which then became schlopp schlopp on its own.
- Bergen = "Let's find a Bergen" -This means, let's do the Gem Hunt on Webkins which features an old salty dog. After several days of wondering what she was talking about, we heard the dog say in a drawl, "Let's see what Bargains we can find" and we both had an "ah ha" moment.
- "Den DC" = Where Godmother Sherry lives. Lea's shorthand for Washington DC.
- "Heavy Strong" = chin ups or pull ups. Lea used to do "heavy strong" on the bars of her crib and now does them on the playground.
- "If you say so, I say so"= I will relent to doing what you say or you have relented to what I have insisted on for the past 20 min. Very cute in a staccato voice.
- Old McDomino's=McDonalds, as in "I want to eat at Old McDomino's"
- "ploblems" = problems as in "Mommy I'm having shoe ploblems"
- "oat mill" = windmill @ grandpa's house
- "floppy nest" = pack and play bed @ Grandma's
- "za-cunni" = zucchini — usually as in "No, no za-cunni"
- "why cause" = because
- "nap thirty" = response to what time is it after lunch?
- "attention horde" = extension cord
- "as fast as me can"
- amn't I = aren't I. I've listed this before but thought I'd note that she still says it at 8 yrs/third grade old even though she reads at a 6th grade level. I still find it cute.
