More malapropisms

The boys speak beautifully. Connor has already picked up on Jamie's rapidly developing vocabulary. So it's fun to hear them get things wrong in pleasing ways. Most of them are Connor's. Jamie has actually cottoned on to this and likes to catch our eye as Connor does his thing and share a subtle laugh. Here are a few:

"Dark Vader" (makes a lot of sense).
"Out of balance," instead of out of bounds, in basketball (this is Jamie's).
"Babing suits"
"Diarrhea" for Diary, as in the books "Diarrhea of a Wimpy Kid" (really changes the meaning.

And our fave, by far, just coined by Connor last night:
For couscous: "goose-goose."
