Out of the Mouth of Babes
I try to monitor my language, but sometimes I slip up. Like yesterday, after helping Claire untangle her seatbelt, I cracked my head on the car door and let loose a rude expletive. Nothing escapes her notice, especially when mommy shouts it at the top of her lungs so it can be heard throughout the neighborhood.
Later on, when bickering with her brother over who had to clean up the living room, Claire said the bad word. She thought shock and awe was a good strategy for gaining her way.
Sam then faced a moral dilemma. How should he inform Mom and Dad of his sister’s transgression without uttering the objectionable word himself? Well, that wasn’t much of a problem. He illustrated the event.
His father and I are glad his spelling still needs some work.
Too funny!
Wow. That’s amazing.
I burst out laughing when I saw that. Too cute!
I surfed over to see what youwere sewing from SewMama Sew forum… LOVE this post! as the mom to three and now nana to two- I have had these moments!! Love your scarf BTW
First off, not only did that make me laugh out loud, but my almost-five-year-old daughter just happened to be looking over my shoulder as I read this. She read the word, she took in the facial expression of the drawing, and then jumped up and exclaimed “THIT!” in a loud angry voice. She then ran out of the room and five minutes later returned with her own version of the drawing, complete with “sharp white teeth”. Your head-whacking is now reverberating through cyberspace…
