Funny stuff kids say.

I did read all the posts below, sorry if I didn't reply to everyone. I'm feeling severely scatterbrained at the moment. We've got school drop offs, a house on the market, packing, panicking, water polo, dance, doctor appoinments, finding a new in home daycare and visiting grandparents in law. If I forgot anything, it's due to a low caffeine level.

I had to share something that K said (not E this time), and then you guys share!

We were coming back from a 5 hour hospital appointment for L, and K was tired, cranky and hungry. It's an hour drive in good traffic from the hospital to home, and halfway back K pipes up and says "I'm tired of this sh!t." Not something I expected to hear from her at all, and all I could do was hold in the laughter with tears running down my face (L too).

Poor kid, can't say I blame her. I deflected her, she's one that would happily repeat the offending language if she gets a reaction.

Hehehehehe... I figure if anything can get my sailor's mouth going enough to train M naughty words it'll be traffic.

Yeah, guilty of that. And I work with men too, so that doesn't help. Driving in rush hour city traffic means lots of F-bombs sometimes. L sometimes catches me and says, um, mom, don't you mean firetruck/fudge/darn? Uh, yeah, sure!! FIL is worse, he purposely taught L naughty words....fortunately not everyone knows English slang. But I'm pretty sure when he called his kindy teacher a wanker, she understood. He won't dare teach the girls.

DS has been trained to say, "Oh Shoot!" whenever mommy has to make a quick stop in the car.  He doesn't say anything when Daddy's driving.

I feel for K, we're considering putting our house on the market next spring, and I dread harping evryone to keep the house clean.  Too much stress, she may need a chocolate milkshake soon.

Ugh, we're at the keeping the house spotless stage. I'll take that chocolate milkshake too!! I am so glad mat leave is done after this week, if they aren't here to mess it, the house won't get (as) messy. Or they may learn a new word. Holy h-e-double hockey sticks.

By the grace of God I have somehow taught DS to say "Oh dear" when something goes wrong. IDK how the heck it happened, but it's sure better than the alternatives come out of my mouth.

Love it. Usually these monkeys just say Uh oh and oh no. I guess swearing must be a new level of frustration for her. We'll see how dayhome goes on Monday. She's had the same provider her whole life, this is a new lady. I really like her, but I'm bracing myself anyway.

That is too funny and your girls are beautiful.
