YOU KNOW WHAT?

Cool photo taken by Kyle at my grandmother’s 80th birthday party a couple of weeks back...

I can almost hear Vincent saying, “YOU KNOW WHAT DADDY?” It’s a speaking habit he’s picked up somewhere, most likely from me. He says it maybe 30 times a day as an introduction to whole host of questions and statements.

“YOU KNOW WHAT? Willy Wonka’s hair is soooo curly.”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? I want some granola.”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? I’ll go to bed after we read one whole book and have some milk.”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? How long is the ride to Auntie Kate’s house?”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? (pause) YOU KNOW WHAT?”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? Let’s play computer games.”

"YOU KNOW WHAT? Uncle Kevin dressed as a clown one time."

"YOU KNOW WHAT? I don't really like salad."

“YOU KNOW WHAT? Peter is standing on that chair and he's stinky.”

I could go on. The frequency and versatility of its useage is pretty awesome.


That’s what.
