Tanner, who turned 4 in July, has been really using his new adjective a lot lately. Tonia and I both love it too much to correct his usage, so everyday is another opportunity to see it used in a new way.
The adjective? Soakin’.
Apparently he took soakin’ (from soakin’ wet) and made it a universal adjective meaning ‘extremely.’
So this morning he told me it was soakin’ dark in the room. A couple days ago while trying to pick up a dumbell, he told me it was soakin’ heavy. Of course, it’s soakin’ cold outside most mornings.
My son is soakin’ funny!
