Things Jacob Says



Jacob is at the perfect age to keep us extremely entertained simply by opening his mouth.  Every day it’s something.  And last week was no exception.   

Jacob – “We learned about letter H today at school.” 

Me – “Oh yeah, what did you learn about the letter H?” 

Jacob – “We learned about hot like when you love somebody.” 

*Brian and I glance nervously at one another*

Me – <concerned> “Hot like when you love somebody?  What do you mean?” 

Jacob – “No, not hot… HOT!”

Me – “Hot?”

Jacob – “Not hot… HOT!!” 

Brian – “Hot?  Hawt?” 

Jacob – <frustrated> “NOT HOT… HOT!!!!” 

*Brian and I glance up at the ceiling and all around the room as if waiting for a tiny translator to pop out to save the day* 

Me – “OHHHH… HEART?!”  

Jacob – “YES!  HOT!” 

*Brian and I – relieved that we don’t have to answer any birds and bees questions from a toddler* 

The moral of the story:  We must teach this boy how to pronounce his Rs.

    1. Oh my goodness, I know! It went on forever! I totally shortened it for the blog because it seemed to go on forever. Brian and I were just totally clueless.
