Little ones are adorable for sure.  You never know what will come out of their mouths.

Re: my grandson makes me shake my head

We had a similar problem with a granddaughter.  She loved to speak with different accents - we have no idea why.  But one da she was sitting in the shopping cart when her Mom was buying groceries - speaking like someone fresh out of London. A nice lady behind asked her where she got that cute accent. Her answer -  "My Mommy got it for me at WalMart".  

 

If I can make one suggestion, it would be to record him when he's talking in a different way.  Down the road you will love hearing it again, and further down the road he'll enjoy it too.

Raven, I know you are spiritual.  In my spiritual knowing, we have lived before - some many lives and in many lands.  Children still recall their last lifetime.  Your grandson may have some residual from a prior life in the UK.  They grow out of it as they get a little older.  Not too unusual - not to me anyway.

Re: my grandson makes me shake my head

Haven't read any of the responses, but my guess would be that he watches "Peppa the Pig" on Nickelodeon.  It's a British cartoon series centering around Peppa Pig and her family and friends.

 

Just yesterday, my 21 month old granddaughter asked, "Make sahnd cahstle, Oma?"

I was just going to type maybe he watches a lot of Peppa Pig. My little granddaughter loves Peppa Pig and Dora, and is always running around saying Hola Hola Hola.........Just like Dora!!!!It is so funny!!!!They are so adorable!

So Cute !  Pretty darn clever that he can do accents at his age.
