"i am educated"

as nj ate his dinner, grandma saw that he used his hand to pick up some food. she said to him, "don't use your hands, that's for the uneducated." yikes! well, whatever works! when she repeated it another time, he said: "don't use your hand. i am educated!" oh my.

before dinner he kept asking me for a snack: "i want macadamia nuts more". i guess grandma gave him some today, i had never heard him say macadamia before! he said it so well, i asked her (grandma) about it and she told me she wouldn't give him any until he could say it right. hey, it worked and i'm impressed!

after dinner, nj played for a bit before bedtime. he stopped to say to baba: "they playing balls." baba answered with: "it's football, baby. they're playing football." (baba had a game on that he was watching, usc vs. cal)
