Snappy one liner

I had a friend over helping me with a sewing project and Jude was sitting beside me punching out scalloped circles with the shape puncher. 

He was doing some half circles and showing them to us and being his usual hilarious and animated self and so my friend said, "Oh yeah you can help us by doing them all round. We need them to be perfect." 

And Jude said, "lots of perfect circles, coming right up." 

Parent-Teacher interview

Today in an interview with Jude's teacher she recounted when she overheard the boys talking to each other about girlfriends and was just about to break it up when one boy asked if Jude had a girlfriend. He firmly said, "Yes! I do! My Mom is my girlfriend." 

So cute. Love him.

Also? I learned that he has never spoken like "J" from his class while at school. He is always talking like this particular boy in his class who talks a little babyish and with a much more pronounced speech impediment than Jude. When Mrs. F heard Jude say something to me in that voice and I said what I usually say, "I want to hear Jude's voice, not J's." And she was sincerely shocked that he does this; and so frequently! 

She got him to promise her to talk like himself when he's at home and I hope he does. But what a little stinker!

Playing with Siri

Today Jude was playing around with Jamie's iPad and I heard him activate Siri and say, "FaceTime Call Mama" and then he quickly changed it to "FaceTime call Vanessa Strickland." to which Siri replied that she couldn't make any calls for him on that device. 

After several more tries, Siri said, "I found that contact. Here is the information for Vanessa Strickland." 

And then I heard Jude say, "Which button do I press?!?" 

Eventually he realized he needed to drop the word "call" and then we had a little FaceTime chat from the kitchen to the living room. 

After I hung up with him, all of a sudden I heard the iPad calling someone on FaceTime and it wasn't me. Next I heard Jamie's dad's voice. Good thing it wasn't someone random.

Ah the Strickland boys do it again.
