Victor-isms from the 9 year old

Victor to Isaac conspiratorially: I ordered a light saber on Alexa.

Isaac checks the family's Alexa account...

Isaac to Me: Ummm, Mom, did you order this?

I check the Amazon account and say to Isaac: Nope. And I also did not order the $259 bouncy house.

I asked Victor if he could put some of his popcorn in a bowl for me. Apparently, this is my ration for the day.

********************************************************************

Victor: After my chores, can you give me a job so I can earn money?

Me: Sure. You can vacuum the den for me.

Victor: Okay! I'll turn on the Roomba.

Me: Ummmm...

While holding Luka...

He should call me Uncle Vic because it makes me sound like an older man.

********************************************************************

Victor, while helping me hang out laundry…

V: Here’s my shirt.

Me: No, that’s my shirt.

V:How do you know?

Me: It says, “Wife, Mom, Boss.”

V: Why does it say that?

Me: You don’t think it’s true?

V: No. Dad’s the alpha male.

And sometimes it's the vocabulary, coming from the mouth of a 9 year old, that makes you stand in wonder at what comes out of his mouth...

"At school I stood on one foot until I started teetering."

"Did you hear me just now when I padded into the room?"
