Mackenzisms

My four year old, Mackenzie, was basically talking out of the womb and hasn’t stopped since.

Okay, maybe from 1 year old on, she has picked up some pretty epic communication skills. Upon the request of some friends and family, I have listed some of the silly things she has said in the past here. This is also for posterity’s sake, because who doesn’t want to be reminded as an adult of the funny things they used to say as a child? 

So Mackenzie the linguist has made up some interesting words over the last 3 years or so. For example, instead of “forgot” she would say “forleft”. Like, “Mom! I forleft my blankie upstairs.” Really, shouldn’t that be a word? If you forget something that is tangible you could say “forleft” and something intangible like someone’s name would just be plain ol’ “forgot”. I think she might be on to something.

Another phrase is “last earlier” which basically was just “earlier”, but it sounded super cute.. “Mom, do you remember when we went to the park last earlier?!”

Mackenzie and I are watering flowers.. (Looking up at me on the porch from the bottom of the porch stairs, holding the garden hose with the nozzle pointing at me) Mackenzie says with an innocent smile..” You know what’s gonna happen?” There is a pause and I say “No”.. She then, with a big smile, proceeds to squeeze the nozzle and soak me. Then she laughs.
