Definition

Aiden: I'm poor.
(this is as he is tucking into a breakfast of french toast, banana's and juice)
me: you are not poor.
Aiden: yes I am, I'm poor because I can't go to school.
(it takes me a while after this to realise he is saying this because we can't afford to send him to the private school we sent him to last year)
me: poor means you don't have any money.
Aiden. no it doesn't
( i get the ipad and look it up on the dictionary app and show him)
me: see, that's what poor means. if there is anything you don't know what it means, you can look it up here.

aiden then looks up the definition of poop.

Saturday 3 December 2011

aiden for the past couple of days has been saying something i have no idea where he picked up, every time he said i told him that was not something he should say, it was not appropriate.. i had no idea where he got it from, until last night..
(this is when we are watching an episode of Shaun the Sheep..)

aiden: TITTY UP, TITTY UP!

me: aiden you should not say that, titty is not a word you should say.

aiden: Oh.. its TIDY up, I meant to say TIDY...

me: yes, its tidy up...
(the episode was obviously about cleaning)
