Ianisms (by request)

I need to post about last week's trip to Florida another night, but for today, responding to several requests for more Ianisms:

- Ian wanted to name his new stuffed dolphin Bucket Truck. I suggested we call him Bucket for short. He must have been contemplating this concept because later that evening he asked for the story of Curious George and the bike, saying, "I call it bike instead of bicycle", and, "Instead of Curious George I call him (pause to think) . . . Curious."

- Tonight Doug thought Ian made his first joke. Doug was trying to get him to leave the park saying, "Shall we?". Ian replied, "No, my name is Ian!" and laughed. (I think this is based on the name 'chelle, which he calls his teacher Rochelle and his knitting babysitter Michelle.)

- Ian, brushing teeth: "God, help me, God!". Me: "You're asking God to help you?" Ian: "Yes." Me: "What do you want God to help you with?" Ian: "With my toothpaste."
