“What’chu talkin’ ’bout, Willis? Always come to mind, when Buba is jabbering on all day. I have even said it to him a few times, only to get the head tilt in confusion and the question,”Willis?”
This week is a few of our car conversations. It’s a shame we live so close to everything, I could write a book on the entertaining things Buba says in the car. As soon as I strap him in his car seat, it’s like a light pops on and his mouth never stops.
His new favorite thing is to tell Mommy where to drive. “This way, Mommy” or “wrong way Mommy, go that way, Mommy.” I have tried a few dozen times to tell him we have to go this way to get where we need to go. He isn’t convinced. “No go that way, please Mommy,” begging me to change direction constantly. I picked him up from nursery, and needed to get milk, as we are driving to the store he says, “can you find my house?” I replied, “Yes, but we need milk.” He shook his head and scowled at me, “my house is this way, Mommy.” I tried to explain that we need to make a pit stop. Instead I had to listen to this being shouted “Wrong way, Mommy, wrong way, Mommy, wrong way, Mommy” to me all the way to the store parking lot.
Our next little conversation happened yesterday in the car. The sun, for once was beaming.
Buba: “Ohhhhhh my eyes!” covering them with his hand, “move it Mommy.”
Me: Complexed, “move what?”
Buba: “My eyes.” he shouted.
Me: Looking in the rearview mirror and realizing the sun was in his eyes, “I can’t move the sun hunny, I am sorry.”
Buba: “But my eyes are sore.”
Me: “Close them.” as I turned the corner… there was a long pause…
Buba: “Ohhh you did it Mommy. Thanks”
My son now thinks I have power over the sun. Great, that won’t come back to bite me later. Made me feel powerful for a split second though, in my son’s eyes.
Our last car conversation is chasing an ambulance.
Buba: “What’s that?” hearing the sirens on an ambulance.
Me: “It’s an ambulance.”
Buba: “What is he doing?”
Me: “He is going to help someone.”
Buba: “No, Mommy.”
Me: “Yes, that’s why his lights and sirens are on.”
Buba: “No, he is going home, Mommy.”
Me: “I think he is helping someone first then he will probably go home.”
Buba: “No, he is eating dinner now.”
Why I try to argue back I will never know. It’s usually have way through trying to convince him of something that I realize I am arguing with a 2 year old. I love our time in the car together, and the mini conversations that are starting to sprout out. I can’t wait till Missy Moo can talk. I wonder what will be said between the two of them.

hahaha! What a fab Mummy you are moving the sun!!
Thanks Kim. I thought so myself. He even told daddy I can move the sun. Now that’s power. Lol I will be devastated when he is old enough to know I don’t have any such powers. Lol
Oh some of their conversations in the back are hilarious to earwig on. I love that he thinks you can move the sun!
I must be the most powerful Mommy on the planet, or at least he is leading me to believe. 😉
I love this post. Toddler logic is the cutest but also most frustrating thing. Love the thought of two of them talking together – the mind boggles! xx
haha I know I can’t wait. Thanks. Buba really does think he is a comedian I swear.
Haha, aren’t toddlers fab! O hates the sun in his eyes too, although no matter how many times I tell him to close his eyes he never does! x
I know, it’s so simple yet they just stare at it and shout”ouch” haha Buba really does think he is a comedian. lol
You cannot win arguments with toddlers, in my experience – their logic is like no other!
Young children conversations are the best! I get all sorts being shared with me at my Nursery! Its fab watching their talking progress! xx
All hail the amazing super sun mover Mommy!!!!! Brilliant! xx
got to love the innocence of kids #sharewithme
Awww, bless him! Children say the funniest things! It is great that you are keeping track of his little gems through your blog. I have a little notebook for each of mine, and love looking through it! Mel #ShareWithMe
haha, this is hilarious)) aaaw and sweet at the same time) re ambulance me and my husband make this joke from time to time that they rush to get some food
Haha I bet a few of them over use their power! hahaha Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
haha there is no arguing with kids, is there? Very cute!
No I don’t know why I even try. So funny yet so frustrating too.
Ha ha, bear is EXACTLY the same with the directions! He’s making a habit of ‘telling’ mummy what to do…..
Yes they get to that bossy stage don’t they. It’s frustrating at times but entertaining and funny at other times.
Ha ha ha these are so cute and really made me giggle. Love that he know thinks you have power over the sun ha ha xxx
I know I feel so powerful with this new ability. Although the next week when he asks I wasn’t successful and he told me, that I wasn’t doing my job! 😉 haha
I love this Jenny – how wonderful that he thinks you have power of the sun. My little boy is constantly telling me that I’m going the wrong way and that he’s right. He usually is! #sharewithme
hahaha Katie. That’s hilarious. I bet Buba will get there as I have been know to miss a turn or two. hahaa
They do come out with the funniest things, and yes, I too argue to no avail. When will we learn?
I know, I don’t know why we think we can reason with testy toddlers and bossy ones too! 😉 Silly us.
Ha ha I love that he tries to direct you – so sure they are right aren’t they, toddlers?! I wrote down some of the funny little things that my lot said when they were toddlers. I really regret not starting a blog before.
I know me too, I read all these amazing pregnancy blogs and it kills me that I wasn’t blogging with both of my two. I keep doing flashbacks for Buba so he is documented here as much as Missy Moo. Just to feel like its fair. I actually have a flashback coming tomorrow morning! 🙂
lol I love hearing what little ones come out with 🙂 x
Haha buba sounds like such a little cutie! Keep hold of that power for as long as possible – it could come in handy someday! xx
oh this is just absolutely darling!! I once said to my son, Carson (5yrs old), that I was” full to the maximum” after eating dinner… He responded with “Me too, but I’m full to the maxicarson”
It took me AGES to understand what the heck he was on about!
I’ve popped on over from #sharewithme and would love you to come say hi at carsonsmummy.blogspot.co.uk too 🙂 xx
Thanks Jo. Too funny on the maxicarson. Love it. Yes of course I will pop over and have a look around thanks for the introduction.
Oh the arguing . . . drives me mad when Ben asks me why something is the way it is and when I tell him he argues back – why ask then!? haha.
#sharewithme
Love it Colette. Glad I am not the only one trying to argue with a tot. Silly me for thinking I could reason with him. lol Thanks for popping by!
My son went through a phase of telling me where to go…hmm. think he’s still doing that actually 🙂 Thanks for hosting a great blog hop Jenny X
Thanks Sam Glad you liked it. I am glad it’s going well too because I was so nervous to start my own linky. lol I am loving getting to know more bloggers and their great blogs.
Looks like your drive is never ever boring =P
That is a fab super power! I know what you mean about car conversations- wish I could bottle them!
Haha Aren’t I the talented mommy. lol I know it’s my favorite time to chat with him about everything.
I really can’t wait for these moments! I even find myself explaining things to and arguing my point with Rhys – he’s 1 … he has no idea haha
Buba is such a little cutie pie!
I love car conversations – so much to talk about with the moving scenery! Our little bear constantly gives a running commentary 🙂
They are great. Too bad we can’t all have recorders in them to document it. I can’t really grab my phone and write it down while driving. lol Although the recorder probably would break with peeping out my road rage cursing hahaaha
How great are car conversations! I used to love talking with Olivia in the back when she was younger
I can’t wait until Missy Moo can talk and I over hear the conversations between the two of them. lol
Car talk to cherish. Wait until you’re driving around your son and his mates wrestling in the back of the car. I look forward to reading more.
hahaha I know I can’t wait to ease drop on their little conversations! 😉
