I was driving on a mountain road and a wildfire came into view, I mean a HUGE wildfire and I said ‘holy sh*t’ from which my son interpreted that fire = sh*t and for about a week following whenever he saw a flame (like say, the candle at the restaurant or the fire place at my in-law’s house) he would point at it and say sh*t. total humiliation.

Any cussing mine pick up is all me. My daughter has picked up Sponge Bob curses like “Oh Tarter Sauce” which is really cute and proves my theory that cursing provides a deep need in some of us.

Thanks for the link at Sweatpantsmom’s. It was nice.

So you’re raising good Christian children who listen to their mother and who speak their mind. Not too shabby. A little uncomfortable, maybe, but it could be worse.

True Story
Tammy takes Sarah Grace to see “How to eat fried worms” — our five year old bundle of laughs has laryngitis and can barely speak over a whisper, which is a blessing because:

at one point a character refers to his private part as a “dilly-dick” at which point the whispering wonder asks Tammy “What’s a dilly-dick” — Tammy, trying to minimize the moment responds with “i don’t know” at which point Sarah Grace stands and says as loud as she can “does anybody know what a dilly-dick is?”

Laryngitis is providential!
