whilst mom and dad are grateful i haven't resorted to the typical two year old behaviour regarding the overuse of the word 'no', there are a couple of phrases that i use perhaps a little more often than they would like: "where-oo" (where are you) when they dare to move more than a few feet away, and "what's that called" - self-explanatory, and in mom's opinion, better than "why?" - although may be that time is approaching.
more joel-speak includes "dresskin and troll" for dressing gown and remote control - the two essential elements for watching curious george in the mornings. "want xxxxx do, DO" with the emphasis clearly on the second 'do'. the request is usually for a cookie or a particular dvd, and the likelihood of it being met is often dependent on whether ollie has just gone to sleep and on how many times mom had to get up in the night. even at her most tired though, i've not yet been allowed ice-cream or cookies for breakfast, although i did get pate and crackers once.

I with you on the 'oo'
Its such a useful phrase.
When I was your age I had two stock phrases to get me through most situations, so I'm told by my 'rents.
They were
"eeeeeeee doin?"
and
"ooooooooooo doin?"
Roughly translated as "What is he doing?" and "what are you doing?"
Hope that helps. See u in a few!
