For some reason my kids speak perfectly good English (well, for a 7, 5, and 2 year old) until these three phrases come out of their mouths. They are heard so much in my house they should be put into the Evans family dictionary or engraved on a plaque in our Family Hall of Shame.
1. Nuffin. This is used mostly when being asked, "What are you doing?" Nuffin. Hello?!! First of all, the word is nothing. And second of all, that is an outright lie!! You are doing something and you just don't want to tell me. Drives me crazy!
2. I don' wanna. This is used mostly when they are asked to do just about anything. Something happens to the t's in my house when my kids need to do something for me, like put your shoes on, or finish getting ready for bed.
3. But, Mom. This is used all the time, mostly by my oldest. This is always said in a whiny voice and Mom turns into the longest word ever. But, Mooooooommmmmmm. I keep telling them my first name is not But. Seriously, people!!!

Hey, Whaaa...? We have a Family Hall of Shame?
I hear you on this one. In our house whenever I ask the kids to do just about anything I get, "What!" Not as a question, but as how dare you ask me to help out. Drives me nutso.
