    Sentences like “stop fighting up there” are learned very early. When you have a sibling, at least. Doesn’t mean she can say any complete sentence she wants.

    My son (4 1/2) talks to my daughter (almost 3) like that sometimes. I wish I could save those moments somehow.

    I just wish she’d stop calling herself Nizzie.

    @ Macushlalondra - Don’t worry; soon enough Michael will be calling her Lizard Breath.

    AW! Michael is being such a good big brother here. How sweet.

    Re Lizzie referring to herself as “Nizzie” - the “L” sound, along with”R” is one of the last sounds that a child learning to speak learns to say. She’ll get it sooner rather than later.

    I don’t know about that, Doctor Toon…my Dad used to say it was the angels moving furniture up in heaven, so you know that must be true…since my Dad said it and all…

    I was told thunder was when GOD got a strike in bowling and lightning was when he got a gutter ball.

    I was told thunder was God bowling. Interesting to see the different explainations.

    Hmmmph… I was told thunder was the sound of lightning! (I had literal-minded parents…)

    Thanks, Joe.

    I wish I could take my deceased WWII vet dad to the new Applebees in my hometown. I’ll be thinking of him, riding that big wagon in heaven over the wooden bridge.

    masnadies, do you have a video camera? If not, you should get one now while your children are still this young because the biggest and best way you can hold on to those moments is to get them all on tape. It should always be charged up and ready to “go” so that when you see and hear your children having these little moments between them you can capture them on film. That way, you’ll be able to hold on to those memories forever — even after they’re all grown up with little ones of THEIR own!

    That priceless look on Farley’s face reminds me of the look on MY dog’s face when we get a thunderstorm … right before she takes off to hide in our basement until it’s all over!!!!!

    My parents always told us that thunder was the angels bowling and lightening was when an angel got a strike. It made me feel better. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest so rain didn’t even register. I still smile when a storm blows through and I remember that. We told my little niece that when we had a big storm here and she said, “There Funder’s out there!” So cute!

    My mom told me, I from Kansas, her dad referred to thundar as tator wagon nothing about lighting though. I’m not for sure for Veteran’s Day if Ryan’s/Hometown buffett is offering a free meal to all veterans but I think you have to have proff. I agree it’s nice to see brother and sister getting along that won’t last long.
