Today we were at the dinner table and Lauren dropped her ceramic Princess mug on the floor. I think she had it tucked under her chin so she could use both her hands to do who knows what. She's very efficient.
Anyway, she dropped it on the floor under the table and, given the sound it made, I was sure that it had broken. I looked at Scott and said, Shhhhhhhhhhhh. He was like, Good catch (we don't usually swear in front of the kids as we don't want them repeating those words to Grandma!).
Megan pipes up, "Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!" We both looked at her like, WHAT?!?!? She looks at us and says, "What? I said sh*t", adding a shrug. I said, "Megan, we don't say that word. That's a naughty word."
Megan: "But, Mommy...."
Me: "No buts, Megan, we don't say that word."
Megan: "But, Mommy, I wasn't saying 'shut up', I was saying 'sh*t'! I wasn't saying 'shut up'--we don't say that!"
Well, hey, at least she wasn't saying shut up......
[going to sit on the naughty parent couch now......yes, Scott, you have to come too]
