And in a serious and thoughtful tone added, "Uh fall." (Fall hah! :D)
BARGAIN
After I had repeatedly declined his request to play with my phone, he said “Howd only.” Hold only.
BE PERSISTENT
I was angry one day, and was all quiet. Sensing my strange silence and seeing my dour countenance, Matt came up and tried to entertain appease me. However, I was not making eye contact to him. “Ma, V-pa-power**?” No response. “Ma, drive car.” Still, I was quiet and not making eye contact to him. After more tries, he finally reached over and planted a very wet kiss on my lips.
**V-pa-power is Matt’s way of saying V-Power, which is a type of gasoline from Shell.
WHEN WATERS GET ROUGH, SING.
Me: Matt, don’t bang your guitar on the floor.
But banging still continued.
Me: Okay. I’ll have to keep the guitar if you continue the banging.
Recall: The story of the Alphabet Song.
ASK FORGIVENESS
“Hug-a Mama. Sorry.” Always. And in an oh-so sweet tone.
NEVER DISCRIMINATE
Greet everyone and anyone.
Morning, fish! (or chicken or Barney or Kermit, etc..)
And to people he doesn't even know: Morning, tao.***
Go-night, Bobby.
After attending a birthday party, he said “Happy Birthday, car.”
***tao means man
SHARE.
"Kermit," Matt gently said while bringing the bottle of Chamyto on Kermit’s lips and pouring the contents all over him.
BE CANDID.
Me: Matt, why are you crying?
Matt, referring to me: [you are] Talking to [a] man.
Me, seeing Matt atop his toy basket: What are you doing?
Matt: Switch[ing] on-a light.
TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME (or…)
Matt: My name is [our home address].
Whoa! This happened after I taught him the my-name-is and I-live-in concepts all at once.
ANGER HAS AN ANTIDOTE.
Seeing Mama angry, Matt said in a placating tone: Maaaaa. Inom**** Bajajesic.
****inom means to drink

Love the picture and the one about forgiveness! So cute
Hi Zam. I love the picture of Matt giving you the V-Power! Kids are so good at "reading" us and they'd do anything to make us feel better. I know, I don't have my own yet, but I've got loads of nephews and nieces (from cousins) to learn from!
Have a great weekend with your family, Zam.
