I'm about to share something that I'm not overly proud to share as it is probably a poor reflection on me and was the result of bad parenting moment. However, I feel that it is just too funny not to share.
Cale was in the boys' bathroom waiting to be wiped (sorry, is that TMI?) and I had to run to the half bath to grab some flushable wipes. All of the sudden I hear Cale yell, "mommy, you get your butt in here." Huh? I couldn't believe my ears and thought where in the world did he hear such a thing? Then, I remembered the moment about a month ago when out of shear frustration I told Connor to get his butt in here! I regretted saying it immediately and really felt bad when Connor said, "mommy, you just taught me a bad word!"
So, Cale learned it from me. Lovely! I was so ashamed. I don't think butt is a bad word per se, but it is a word that I don't want want coming our of my children's mouths. Yes, I have double standards. I just try not to say it in front on my kids and now I know why. We have a parrot in the house and his name is Cale.
The irony here is that over the past week Cale has gotten on to me for using what he thinks are bad words. You want to know what they were? I said dumb, stupid, rediculous, and oh my gosh. I have a dirty mouth indeed!

You and me both... I had to have the conversation about how it's not okay to call a person "stupid" but it's okay to say a situation is "stupid". Still not sure he got it.
definitely not TMI for most people who have kiddos :)
i finally gave up on trying to get carter to stop saying "crap." i don't hear it often anymore, but i figured i can't get onto him for saying it when i do all the time!
oh, I was telling Jon about this, but I spelled "b-u-t-t" because Carter was in the room. Carter thought it sounded hilarious, and he called me into his room after he went to bed saying, "mom get your c-u-p-b in here!" at least those are the letters I thought I heard him spell.
I'm just curious what you did when he yelled that to you:)
Imagine my horror when my precious angel came home and told me he wasn't going to say the F word because somebody on the bus said it and it doesn't sound nice.
As I was preparing to put him in private school (not that that is always better) he announced that the F word was "fat".
WHEW! Crisis avoided! For now...
