SamSpeak
When the pizza delivery man comes to the door (who else knocks and then doesn't just come in), Sam says in cadence if not words, “Who is it?”
He’ll pick up any object as if it’s a phone; put it against his ear and say, “Hi”. He has received very little in the way of role modeling for that behavior--as phone phobic as I am. Perhaps he’s trying to tell me something.
He says, “Bye” with accompanying fanfare. If he says bye to you, he’ll get shoes (his, yours, anybody’s), he’ll escort you to the door, wave and blow kisses at you from behind the glass and then shut the door behind him. Again, super polite but not role modeled behavior.
My favorite word which he refuses to repeat very often is “kiss”. We were at Lowes and I gave him a kiss and said, “Kiss”. I stepped away and he said, “Kiss” and then presented his forehead. He slays me. But of course in the tradition of all mothers and sons he melts me with his charm but refuses to perform on demand.
He also says Hank (the greyhound next door) which means dog. On the Grammar ToDo List learn the difference between name vs. noun.
