Colorful Language

I don't claim to be a perfect mother. Sometimes I cuss in moments of frustration and sometimes little ears happen to be around. Sometimes it backfires.

Charely is sitting at the table and her bird and whale are having a conversation. Bird did something to make whale angry and I hear a little voice say, "S@%*!"

I say, "Excuse me?"

Charley, "I just said 'S***'".

"We don't say that word Charley. It's naughty. I' m sorry if you heard it from me. It was naughty of me to say it."

Charley says to her whale, "Don't say s***!"

"Charley that means that you shouldn't say it either."

"OK Mom. I was just telling whale not to say s***, and I won't say s*** either."

I couldn't help it - I giggled and hoped that she got the message. I certainly did!

As I recall, you were the biggest little $%#& of all...so it's only natural that it would come out of your offspring's mouth...I, by the way, was the perfect child.
