Mud Puddle-isms

The Mud Puddle is quite the character, as all of you long suffering blog readers have probably figured out. We have covered some of his original vocabulary before, and I thought that I would take this opportunity to bring you up to speed on some more of his rather colorful words and phrases:

HeadSquatch – A Big Foot, the Mud Puddle describes it as “like a gorilla”.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Ladies of all ages” – How he does a grandiose introduction. I am not sure if the Gentlemen can only be of a certain age but he makes it clear that he loves the ladies, regardless of their chronological state.

“I LOVE YOU ” – he loves everything lately. I give him my Mean Mommy look and he is saying “I LOVE YOU MOMMY” in a big, Broadway voice.
He also loves rocks, his tomato plant, daddy, Ellie, grammie and grampie, and occasionally people and animals he has not yet met. This phrase replaces the “Isn’t It Sweet” he had been shoveling for several months. I would say something was ‘cool’ or ‘awesome’ and he would inform me that, no in fact it was ‘sweet’ and in the cotton candy way, not in the “Dude Where’s My Car” way.

Watee – the substance the rest of us refer to as Water. He has been taking off the R and replacing it with an E on some words lately. It is like his spin on the Boston ‘ah’ sound and rather annoying I might add.

Yogi – yogurt (see Watee above for explanation).

Heat Wash (pronounced like Rash but with a W) – he has one on the back of his neck and keeps telling me “Don’t touch my Heat Wash!” But if I can’t touch IT, I can’t put the calamine lotion on IT.

Poooolllllllllah – something you swim in. The longer you try and keep him out of it the more ‘o’s and ‘l’s he adds. We stayed at a hotel this weekend and I swear after 45 minutes of waiting (a century to him apparently) there were at least an even dozen of each added to the word.

The Cabin – the place where we stayed for E’s wedding. It was a resort and we were taking care of E’s dog so we had a cabin which was nice. He apparently enjoyed it b/c he keeps asking when we are going back. I thought the chatter leading up to the wedding was bad, but it continues on, and on….
