5 Year Old Potty Mouth




Do you remember when you said your first cuss word? I remember mine. I was in first grade I think and I had heard some boys a school say the "d" word and thought it sounded cool. So when my mom came to pick me up from school, I got in the truck and tried to pull the door shut. I couldn't get it on the first try so I realized the perfect opportunity to use the new word I learned.
Me: "I can't shut the "d" door!
Mom: What did you say?
Me: (not realizing it was bad) " I said, I can't shut the "d" door!
I don't know if my mom laughed on the inside, but I do remember that she made it very clear that we did not say that word....ever!

Yesterday Camryn learned a new word.
Dan and I were both in the bathroom in our room getting ready to go out on a date. Our babysitter was in the living room and the kids were just running around chasing each other and playing some crazy game.
All the sudden they barge into our room and Jordan runs into the bathroom with Camryn close behind. He runs into the back part of the bathroom and slams the door laughing.
Camryn comes in and bangs on the door yelling (and I quote)
"Jordan, come out right now or I'm gonna kick your 'a'!"
Dan and I both looked at each other and then at Camryn who at that time did not realize that anything was wrong and the two of us started cracking up laughing.
It probably took a good 5 seconds before we could compose ourselves in order to confront her with a new "learning experience"
It is so hard to correct them when you can't keep a straight face.
Anyway, this unfortunately is not her first bad word, it is the second. We have already had the discussion about the "d" word with her!
What a potty mouth!

You're just going to have to get that girl some different friends! LOL!! The best part is always finding out where she heard it!

I'll never forget a 3-year old Bex in a carseat in the car -- out of the blue saying ..."Mommy, where did the stupid lady go?" Out of the mouths of babes...I guess she got her road rage from me...but we'll blame it on Dad!

That is so funny. I think if Karis learns any curse words they're going to be in Portuguese and I'll probably have no idea what she's saying...not sure if that's a good thing:-)

I still can't believe how much Camryn looks like you in some of your pictures! So cute...

Ginny that makes me laugh really hard. I know who they get it from though. You were bad growing up. I should create a blog just explaining all the times you tormented me!
