James and Gavin are so funny. James tries to imitate our words, but sometimes he has a hard time always nailing what letter something is. But if you correct him, he'll try his best to correct himself. No arguing, just trusting. Gavin will imitate anything James says (or anyone else), but even if has it incorrect, he will stick to his guns of his first pronunciation. Which is funny, because he has such great English skills.
Last night, when Brad was home and I was finishing up our dinner, Gavin was telling us that he was a bumbie and he comes out of the ground. I had no idea what he was talking about. Until I heard him talking to James, and he was describing what a "bumbie" is. It's a zombie. Yeah... we got this party Halloween catalog in the mail and James has been poring over it and asking a million questions about the things he was seeing. One of the things he asked me about were the zombies coming out of the ground. He was calling them "bombies" instead of zombies, Gavin heard it and repeated it as "bumbie". And if you told him they were zombies... watch out. "NO! They are bumbies!! They come out of the ground!" Then once I told them they were bad and ate people, he gave us a story. The bumbies go to a cave where a dragon lives and the dragon killed all the bumbies so they wouldn't hurt the humans. Because humans are good and bumbies are bad. And dragons are good.
I really need to get them on video more, because as funny as the story is, hearing it from them is 100x funnier!
