More from the funny files

Me: "Tucker, what are you doing in there?"
Tuck: "Making a car wash. [long pause] I love carwashes."
Me: "You do?"
Tuck: "Yes, They are sooooo cooooool."

A few minutes later: "Come yook at it, Mama." So I took a picture so his adoring fans at home could also see it. Aren't car washes SO COOL?!

It's more hilarious if you know his undying obsession with car washes. Really. He just sits in the backseat looking for any car wash or tire store (also look like car washes) and then he lets me know how dirty my "Bolbo" - Volvo - is and that we need to go to that car wash. Then he proceeds to explain the entire process of the car going through and how my car is going to get clean. I can't tell you how many times a day I hear this.

A few days ago we were driving along and he was spotting cars, as usual, that he knows. We saw a grey BMW and he yells out "Mimi's car." We saw a taupe Pathfinder and he yells out "Miss Yesley's car." Then he says "Mama, there is a car like Scotty's."

So I ask: "Tucker, what kind of car do you have?"

Tucker: "I don't have a car!"

Me: "You have a Volvo."

Tucker: "NO, Mama! You have a Bolbo. I have a jeet? beet? ( I couldn't understand him)

Me: "A Jeep?"

Tucker: "No. A jeet, beet, whatever he tried to say."

Me (trying to understand): "What is it like Tucker?"

Tucker: "Like Vinnie! In the back of your car. I have a SEAT!"

I still had no clue what the word was, but in context he was talking about his car seat in the back. He doesn't have a car, he just gets a seat in the back! And he has the exact same car seat as his friend Vinnie which was the missing clue in the puzzle!
