My daughter is quite fond of “God damn it.” The other day I went upstairs to get something when she wanted to leave. She yelled up the stairs at me “God damn Mommy!” My daughter goes to Catholic school, and I am ALWAYS nervous now when I go in to volunteer.

The problem is, it is funny. It’s SO hard not to laugh.

Oh man I know we’re right behind you. Thalia’s still in the stage of saying FAAAAAAAART instead of excuse me. Or sometimes she’ll just say “GOOD ONE!”

We need to stop laughing when she does it. No really. It’s not funny. (heh) Not at all.

My husband and I often say there are certain “Murphy’s Law” type rules that apply to this type of situation:

1) You spend the first two years of your child’s life teaching him to talk–and the next 18 trying to get him to be quiet–or in some way control their speech choices.

2) Words you’d rather they didn’t use come out of a child’s mouth at only the worst possible moment–like when older congregation members are visiting your home (my husband’s a pastor).

3) “If you don’t want the kids to use certain words, don’t use them yourself,” is a fine sentiment–but doesn’t necessarily hold true–see #2 above.

I dread what will come out of my future kids’ mouths, knowing what often comes out of mine.

Mine hasn’t stared talking yet, but I am pretty sure his first words with be of the four letter variety as I can hardly stop myself from using them. I try…I really do but come one I am an ex-high school teacher–well and a mom and something are just hard to give up. Sometimes no other type of word will do.

OMG, LOL and can’t stop! The post was great, and the comments are just as funny. This is definitely a real-life, true-to-motherhood adventure.

This one isn’t a kid story, but it does seem to fit in. My DIL’s cousin’s hubby wanted to give me their parrot. It seems his sister and BIL had kept it in the bedroom. It had the habit of picking the worst times (like when the minister is visiting) to say things like “Oh Kurt! O, Kurt, Again, Again,” etc. Naturally, their kids thought it was hilarious.

I actually had and ARGUMENT with Jack the other day. He said “OH MY GOD” and I said ” WE SAY OH MY GOSH” and he said “You NEVER say OH MY GOSH, Mommy…you always say GOD” and I said “Well, You say OH MY GOSH” and he said “GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD I SAY IT LIKE YOU DO” and stormed out of the room.

I tried to have the talk about how adults can say words kids can’t and why while we dont’ think its bad, some people might not like him saying OH MY GOD. I’m not sure he was listening to me because he was cracking up saying “GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD”

Sigh
