Say Hi Dude

Earlier today Will and I were sitting on the couch and Sam was in Will's lap.  I was trying to get Sam to say "hi" because sometimes he will do it and it sounds correct.  He wasn't saying anything, just smiling at me so Will said "Say hi dude" and he waved at me.  Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard.  So Will said it again "say hi dude" and he waved at me.  I told Will he was in trouble if he had taught Sam that you wave when you say dude.

We were both laughing.  We would say "say hi" and Sam would just look at us, but when one of us would say "say hi dude" the kid would wave every single time.  Eventually Will try changing out "dude" for other words "Sam", "buddy", etc and he would wave each time; so daddy is saved.  Sam will wave if you say "say hi ____", but not if you say "say hi".  Too funny.
