Kids are like sponges. And sponges are gross after a while, so even that suits my kids well. Leave them alone long enough and they will be disgusting before long. Can you please NOT pick your nose at the dinner table! It's disgusting! *giggle* No it's not! *sigh* And then let's not talk about Chunky's infatuation with the murkiest of mud puddles. There are cigarette butts floating in that one! *swap, swap, swap, splash!* Ahhh...
But, I digress.
Big Man learned a new word recently. He knew it was a bad one, so he decided to inform us during dinner at a restaurant.
Big Man: We don't say......[mumbling]
Me: What?
Big Man: We don't say...uck.
Me: (suspiciously) We don't say what?
Big Man: We don't say f#$%, Mommy. We don't say that.
Hubby: No! Where did you hear that!!? That's a bad word! (Getting progressively louder as he talks)
Big Man: instantly in tears and crying
Hubby: Oh! No, no, no! You're not in trouble! It's okay! That's just a bad word, baby.
Me: It's alright, it's alright. Where did you hear that from?
Big Man: slowly looks up at me and then back at his lap.
Me: Baby, where did you hear that from? At school? Did Mommy say it? Did Daddy say it?
Big Man: You did, Mommy.
Oops. Nuh-uh.
Yep. I suck.
I should do what a good friend of mine does and curse made up stuff. For example, if she stubs her toe it's, " God Bless America!
So I thought I'd do all parents out there a favor and make a list of appropriate and just as fun "expression" to "express" our frustrations. Enjoy!

- God Bless America I had to add that one. So sue me, El! I thought it was good. And now you're in my blog, so there.
- Fudge muncher!
- Holy shish-ca-bob
- What the frick-frickity-frick? You can shorten that, I just think frick is funny--yeah, I'm a dork.
- Flock off!
- lint licker-ahahahaha! I love that orbit commercial. Heh.
- Oh sweet Jeebus
- Oh Mylanta
- You mother lover!
Okay, my extraordinary genius has fallen short and that's all I can think of right now (and google), so there you are. That should keep you busy for a little while. And hopefully prevent dialogues like the one above. If you can think of anything else to add, let me know. I can edit these babies, you know. That's the power of the blog. So let me know!
