    I need an interpreter

    For all my priding myself on my fluency in John-speak, I do have moments of total incomprehension:

    John: Mommy, I had a zot.

    Me: A what? A spot? Where, on your pants or your shirt?

    John: No, Mommy, I had a zot.

    Me (guessing, after a confused pause): Oh, a shot? (He'd been playing doctor with an empty medicine syringe earlier that day...)

    John: (with great patience): Mommy. Das nod whad I said. I said I had a zot. A zot.

    Me (praying quickly, and then in a flash of disbelief): A thought?

    John (beaming): Yes. I had a zot.

    Me (in great relief): Oh! Well, what was your thought?

    John: I had a zot dat -- about dat we should do someting.

    Me: And what was that?

    John: Dat was my zot.

    ROFL.

    This made me laugh for the first time in a couple of days (Eve has turned into the Toddler from Heck, I'll probably blog about it shortly).  Thanks for the pick-me-up!

    AWESOME.  I'm going to give you a pocket notebook so you can take notes each time you two have an interchange like this!  ...where is he getting some of these words, by the way?  Extinguish?  Seriously, child...
