Next on the list is “Confabulate”

I thought it was time that Evan widened his his vocabulary.

Dan: “Evan, say nincompoop”

Evan “flurble”

Dan: “Nincompoop”

Evan: “flurble”

Dan: “Say nin”

Evan: “nin”

Dan: “com”

Evan: “com”

Dan: “poop”

Evan: “poop’

Dan: “Nincompoop!”

Evan: “COLIN!!”

To be fair that isn’t quite as random as it would appear. Colin is the name of Evan’s keyworker at nursery and he adores him. “Colin” is his favorite word in the world and shouting it at every opportunity is his default setting.

Strangely enough Evan’s second favorite word is ‘Dolphin”. Since he first saw them at a sea life center in Spain he has been borderline obsessed. We must have watched the YouTube video of the Orlando Dolphin show nearly as much as we have watched Amy’s copy of “High School Musical 2″. Oh yes, it’s a culturally rich environment in our household.

    What odds on Evan calling Colin a nincompoop at nursery tomorrow?

    The short version here in the states is ‘Bu-shh’.

    I haven’t taught that one to my kids yet.

    They do know “doofus” and “dunderhead” though.

    I think he is doing it on purpose and actually reads the dictionary when you are not looking.

    There’s an episode of ‘Friends’ with a similar scene where Joey is trying to learn French.

    As I’ve shamed myself forever for saying that, I’ll just leave.

    SingleParentDad – I don’t know he’d dare. Although a nice chap, Coin has a very scary Glaswegian accent.

    James – I always had Bush down as more of a imbecile.

    Phil – Dunderhead is a mighty fine word

    Jason – Who doesn’t!

    Sam – I think that’s highly unlikely. He can’t reach the shelf you see.

    Oli – I’d forgotten about that. Although to be fair you do look like a Colin. Or maybe a Neville.

    Xbox – You only watched it because your wife was doing so, right?

    Avitable – then you better get used to hearing him say it, because that is all you are going to get for the next three hours.

    Arjan – Evan know’s who’s the daddy.

    Dan, maybe it’s a message. MAybe he’s telling you that Colinis a nincompoop. It’s a cry for help! Blimey that kid is clever, he doesn’t just say the word, he tries to give examples.
