Maybe it's...

Troy has started to say “maybe it’s…” when he’s answering questions or acknowledging something. For example, we were looking through his dinosaur book, and we stopped at a fish dinosaur.

Dada: “Look at that Mosasaurus, it has a big head!”

Troy: “Maybe it’s a whale.”

Dada: “No, I’m pretty sure it’s a Mosasaurus.”

Troy: “But maybe it’s a whale.”

Dada: “It says it’s a Mosasaurus right there.”

Troy: “But maybe it’s a WHALE!”

Dada: “But it’s not!”

Troy: “MAYBE it’s…a whale.”

Dada: “I can see how you might think that, but I’m assuring you that it’s in fact a Mosasaurus.”

Troy: “maybe it’s a whale.” [whispering]

Dada: “Fine, maybe it’s a whale.”

Troy: “Maybe it’s a Mosasaurus.”

Dada: “Are you kidding me right now?!”
