This can't be genetic! Can it?

Carter's Grandfather (whom he calls Bo for Grandbo) has his own quirky language of Bo-isms.  For example:

  • RV for SUV
  • Cat soup for ketchup
  • Mechanical writing utensil for mechanical pencil
  • H20 for water
  • ka-nife for knife
There are hundreds of other examples.  Mike and I have been brainstorming and these are the first few that popped into our tired brains.  But I'm sure that grandma could add to the list!  So today Carter proved that once again, he is a true Shadle.  He wanted sunbutter toast, but he wanted to spread the sunbutter onto the toast.  So what did he ask me for?  Why a ka-nife of course!  I couldn't help it, I just started laughing.  Are Shadles genetically wired to say ka-nife?  Where in the world did he get that from?  Bo have you been saying ka-nife to Carter?


What a silly boy!  Next thing you know, Bo will be calling a backpack a packpack.
