Octa-claus

For weeks Trevor has been talking non stop about "enemies"  I could not figure out where on earth he picked up that word.  Tonight at bedtime I told him we would go see Santa Claus.  He said, "tell octa-claus enemy for kiss-mas, choo-choos, James, Henry, and uhhhh Harwold, and uhhhh enemy.  Yeah, enemy."

Light bulb moment... enemy = Emily.  Whew, he's to young to have any enemies!  It's funny because most of the words he says with perfect enunciation but a few things leave me scratching my head.

Something that has left us puzzled for more than a month now is his constant use of the word "fawk-horse" it sounds slightly naughty.  I think it has something to do with Thomas, and he seems to use it most when playing with something that has a trailer.  Any ideas?  Unfortunately a google search of fawk-horse did not help me out.

Completely unrelated but equally funny was something that happened at work today.  A woman runs into our store about an hour before close and said, "I dis wanna look at sum glasses real quick"  I told her, "you have plenty time we don't close until 7."  She replied with a wag of her head, "Dat's not what your dow-r seys."  Mmmm-kay our door has a sign I typed that says please use other door with an arrow pointing to the other door.  It's been super windy and was blowing open so I latched the one side.  Apparently an arrow is universal sign for closed.  So as her husband tried on some frames I heard her exclaim, "shiiiit you look like frankenstein!"  It left me wondering what kind of glasses exactly would frankenstein wear.
