Linguistic explorations, v2.5
He's just so stinkin' cute, I say under my breath to my mom and sister.
Off on the other side of the living room he startles a bit, glances up, looks a little thrown and mutters: Sometime me get a little, little poopy but sometime me NOT poopy. No...
I apologize after a pause... Oh, honey, I'm sorry. 'Stinkin' cute' is another way of saying really, really cute. I didn't mean you're a stinky boy.

I'm off to run errands in the evening and Fun Time! With Daddy! Starts as soon as I LEAVE! so he says: Go, Mama!
We have the same ol' discussion at length about how even if you want someone to go it's not nice to tell them to Go! so you have to just wait, or say 'Bye, bye' in a nice way because otherwise it might hurt their feelings, yadda, yadda, tweedleedum, yadda...
So he says: Go now PLEASE, Mama. And I do.

I love this moment in time before "I" and "my." It's me monkey, me gib you a hug, me want it, me a big, big, big boy and I think: You are so stinkin' cute.
