My mom used to say “ugga-mugga” when we rubbed noses. I don’t know why.<\/p>\n
Ben does not like “ugga-mugga” so much – he much prefers his own variation:<\/p>\n
“Nugga-nugga”<\/p>\n
It was while Ben was talking to my mother (his gramma, of course) that he stated rather matter-of-factly that your “toenails keep your toes from falling off”.<\/p>\n
We live at the top of a hill and at the end of a street. Our driveway is quite steep. Every morning Ben announces that he will look down the driveway for cars so that we don’t have to watch.<\/p>\n
Ben used a horrible insulting word this evening. When we told him that we didn’t want him to use that word, he insisted that he had only just then thought of it. He didn’t hear it anywhere – he made it up.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, when I said “hell” he told me that was a bad word. I said that it wasn’t a word that he should use at school, but it’s not really a bad word. It’s just the name of an imaginary place that some people like to believe in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
