Catch Phrases

Miles needs a drawstring.

We all have phrases that we tend to repeat more often than not. Caitlynn has a couple -- "I'm bored" and "Can you give me money?" are her two most used phrases. I even have a couple, but they are usually peppered with some sort of expletive. I try to be good and not curse but... And it doesn't help that I'm reading a book right now called Holy Shit. It actually all about manure. I find it fascinating. Oh no! I'm letting my inner-nerd show! 

But Miles has many phrases. So many, in fact, he needs to have a drawstring in his back like Woody in the Toy Story movies. In case you forgot, Woody's catch phrases are "There's a snake in my boot!," "Reach for the sky!," and "You're my favorite deputy!"

So... I compiled a list of phrases used by Miles several times a day, even more so now that school is out for summer.

I'm hungry!
Mama!
I got poop!
I'm thirsty!
Gotta Pee!
Can you buy me something?

But to make these phrases a little more movie worthy, these sayings should be edited a bit:

"I'm hungry!" becomes "Feed me, Seymour!"
"Mama!" turns into "(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go" 
"I got poop!" actually should read "Ooops, I crapped my pants!"
"I'm thirsty!" morphs into "I drink, therefore I'm thirsty."
"Gotta Pee!" can be said as "Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now!"
"Can you buy me something?" sounds more like "Everybody be cool! This is a robbery!"

I don't think Miles will mind if I pull the string on his back. He seems pretty open to it.

Oh and you get a gold star for the day if you know where some of the phrases above come from. Well, maybe not the thirsty one... that one is mine, but the others are from other sources.
