A brief Parent-Child dictionary

Since some of you will soon be spending quality time with me and my children, I thought it might be a good time to provide a brief reminder of some common terms in Child, and their translation in Adult:

I’m hungry = I see you have cookies

I’m not hungry = I said cookies, not vegetables

I’m tired = Carry me

I’m not tired = I’m exhausted

I’m thirsty = I’m bored. Dance for my amusement, puppet.

I need to pee = I am currently peeing

Read me a story = I see you were enjoying an adult conversation. Stop that.

Let’s play a game = Let’s jump on furniture

She hit me = She had a totally unreasonable response to me sitting on her head

Let’s sing a song = Let’s scream

I’m bored = I see you have DVDs

It’s hot = I’m getting naked in 60 seconds. Consider yourself warned.

If any of you can think of more terms to add, please share.
