Squirrel (v)

The verb "to squirrel" - to lose focus of something and pay attention to something more interesting.  As in the dog on "Up", talking about something, and "squirrel!"

Okay, I'm going to list all the new words that we come up with.  This one just happened a few minutes ago....

4 yo says:

Can I have more soil milk?

(Should be soy milk.)

Ice cream

2yo: Owwie!
Mom: Do you want some ice?
2yo: No! Cream!

Things to not say to dad:

I put on some reminiscing music from Star Wars.  Hey, the music's still good.

10yo: I bet you can't play that on the trumpet

Wife: Why did you say that?  You should know better...

Me - bring out the trumpet and play along.  Mind you, it was probably a grade III performance (higher number = bad), as I haven't played in a number of months, and I didn't bother warming up or whatever.

And for some reason, the 10yo was busting out laughing the whole time.

not going to knock anybody off

Me, to 4yo: Stop pissing off your brothers.  (Sorry if 'piss off' is vulgar to you)
4yo, a few minutes later: Don't worry, dad, I'm not going to knock anybody off right now.

Wife says...

"You know, I'm starting to think 'Man vs. Food' isn't very good for me."
