I Swear I Don’t Swear (Most of the Time)
My babe is at the stage where he repeats EVERYTHING I say. It’s fun most of the time, but can be a tad harrowing when someone drops a four–letter word in front of her.
Somehow my motherly instincts have severely curbed my cursing, but every now and again, I let one slip.
Just the other night she caught me by surprise as she dropped the “F” bomb. Shocked and appalled, I didn’t know what to do. At 33–months–old, what good does scolding him for bad language do? And besides that, it wasn’t his fault that he learned it and was simply repeating it. It was just like any other word.

As I stared at his with wide eyes and dropped jaw, he reached forward and grabbed his frog and again said the “F” word. Much relieved, I excitedly said, “Yes! Frog! F–R–O–G!”
Phew. A close call for sure. It was a good reminder to mind my P’s and Q’s.

Who hasn’t slipped? We’ve navigated our way around the bad words a handful of times :). Thanks for the visit! Joshua is a cutie patootie :).
enjoyed the story…the f bomb..made me laugh!
ha ha that’s pretty funny. I used always freak out when I said the F word in public, because some little kid might be close. Now I say F’er which makes me feel better.
PS: oh my gosh! Joshua is so… cute, honestly I wonder if i wish & hope hard enough, my future kids will be as cute.
