Diversity, dialogue and multiculturalism in America

Y. has started to talk, but it’s that fifteen month inarticulate toddler speak language.

Like, instead of “milk,” he’ll say “muk.”

Cute, right?

He loves graham crackers, much like every other child in the world BESIDES his sister.

Graham crackers is a long word, too long for his sweet little fifteen month mouth.

So, when he wants his favorite snack, he just starts yelling….

“CRACKAS!! CRACKAS!”

And, of course, nothing completes a snack of graham crackers like a nice cup of juice.

“JOOZ!  JOOOZ!”

I must be doing something right.

My son loves Jews and Crackers.

We may have a shot at world peace, after all.

    Awesome!! Taylor used to call wipes “whites.” When she wanted me to throw a wipe away, she’d say, “White trash.” She didn’t care much about world peace—-or making it out of Walmart alive, for that matter.

    Now if he could only turn his attention T9 the Global Warming problem, we’d be set…

    I love Jews, but I don’t like Crackers. I should learn by his example.

    Ha! Love that. Funny how the language of a child can make it all make sense… well, in that sort of way.

    World Peace for all.

    This cracked me up!

  18. RW says:

    Yes but he eats them… for a snack.

  19. SciFi Dad says:

    Peace comes in small steps… small, fifteen month steps where every word is in all caps and said with the authority of a South American dictator.

  20. tariq says:

    Hahahaha….i loved RW’s comment.

    Now i just need to teach him some curse words in punjabi so he can combine them with his cuteness to unite India and Pakistan. We can then move on to the North/South Korea issue.

    Fantastic post.

    SO CUTE. OMG. I do not correct my boys when they pronounce words wrong, I just can’t. I hate when they, on their own, start saying certain words the right way. Right now my 2 year old says ‘sugie’ instead of ‘sugar’ and it melts me!

    Forget the curse words my kids know, it’s awful. Today my son hit me in the back with a toy and I said “OH JESUS CHRIST!” Then I said, “I’m so sorry for saying a bad word, C.” His reaction? “I didn’t hear you say the f word mommy!” Sigh…

    Love it!
    N finally said her 1st word the other day- “Buh Bull” (Bubble). I think she has said “more” and “ball” before that, but “bubble” was much more articulate and obvious, so I’m counting that one as her first word.
