Kid log: "Got rotten luck!"
Little Fayoumis has been declaiming, "Got rotten luck!" in an accent that sounds like something non-upper-class from the United Kingdom, lately. He's been doing it for a while, but this is the first I've actually logged it down. It's clearly a quote from a game, movie, or TV show.
I've taken to asking him, "So what was the rotten luck this time?" because sometimes it is rotten luck, and sometimes it isn't. And if it isn't appropriate to be saying it, he says it enough so that I would prefer that he only says it when he actually does have rotten luck with something.
Today, so far, it's been that he guessed wrong while flipping a coin, and that he spilled apple sauce all over the kitchen floor. "So, what do you do when you spill something?" I prompted, and he made a world-weary noise and went for the paper towels.
"What was the rotten luck?" works better as the question than, "Why are you saying that?"
