Kellen's new phrase this week is...drum roll please..."I not, the mood".
Translation: "I'm NOT in the mood".
It's his answer to lots of things from "Do you want to go swimming?" to "It's time for a shower." (Why do teenagers resist cleanliness?)
I not, the mood
Why does this new phrase make me smile?
For a couple of reasons. One, it tells me he is still learning language...and more and different ways of expressing himself.
Two...because it perfectly sums up the last fifteen months.
Three...because it is so...
teenager.
