"Ah-ma is hot pantsing"

NJ's been a good sport about going back and forth between our house and Ah-ma's (grandma). This morning at Ah-ma's, NJ made me laugh with the stuff he was saying. 

He ran into the room to show me the collection of state quarters that my mom has. He opened up the folds and said, "Woaw, that's a lot of money!" My mom cracked up as she told him to go put it away. 

Later he ran in to tell me that Ah-ma was doing something hot with her pants. He does a motion with his hands and says, "Ah-ma's doing like that to her pants." 

"Like what?"

"Like that (more motion) with the hot pants. She's hot pants."

"She's hot pants-ing?"

"Yeah! Ah-ma is hot pants-ing. Like that, like that, like that! I show you..." (he took my hand). She showed up by then and I guessed right that she was ironing her pants in the other room. 

Downstairs, Ah-ma turns on the tv for him to watch some "program". He calls it, "Ama-bay-la". Ah-ma says, "Ama-day-lo". I say, "Armadillo?" No, the cartoon starts and it's called "Little Amadeus (Mozart)"! What? "It's Ama-day-us!" NJ: "Ama-bel-a!" Ah-ma: "Ama-day-o!" Oh dear.  

At home, he kept asking if we could go outside to weed. I said that it's too hot right now! His response, "But I like to weed. There's so many on that side!" It's true, there's a part of the yard that I haven't finished yet in the back. He also wanted to ride his scooter and tricycle, but it was too hot for that too. 

On the way to dinner NJ also had to a lot to say: 

"Are the helpers coming back to our house?" (He's so interested in what's going on with the house) 

And, "Bye, bye broccoli truck!" (Grocery truck passed with broccoli on it)

Then, "We need to give the cards!" (He loves when we make cards for people, we did one today)

I told him the post office was closed, we missed it, we have to mail it tomorrow. He says, "But we need to go. I want to give the cards. Try another one, another post opice is open." Nope, they all close at the same time.
