Dosen's efficient use of words

Dosen talks all (ALL) the time, but what he says isn't always distinguishable by the average listener. I'm sure it is frustrating to do your best to communicate a request only to get a blank stare in return. So, to help us all out, Dosen has coined a new word:

upordown - the request for help to get oneself or object up or down from a particular surface.

In context it might sound like, "Mama, I upordown, upordown, upordown (from the barstool)."

He perfected the use of his new word while I was away on a girls' weekend trip (more on that soon), so I think he just thought it would help Jake tend to his needs faster during his single-parent weekend. Such a thinker.

Poor guy. He gets so confused on what the words "up" and "down" mean. So he just settled that problem with the invention of upordown. Next thing you know he will be saying goorstay, inorout, and peeorpoop.

How cute. He's a smart little guy.

Claire used to ask me when I was going to pick her up and drop her down (off). Those pesky prepositions.
