I thought Fuck was always word of the day?
*hugs*
Not for my two-year-old.
Unfortunately, I shut my own foot in the back door, so now he knows it.
Are we supposed to use those words in a sentence? Or to make a story? Because I can do that. Just pity the poor little fucked-over chinchilla if I do.
I forgot my favorite 2-year-old fuck story:
My friend had a two-year-old who had a lot of trouble with initial hard consonants. Thus, he called a "truck" a "fuck". The kid was forever blowing people away in public (and embarrassing his mom no end) by yelling things like, "Look at the big fuck!!!" while they were out shopping or something.
It was the most fun when he pointed too. "Look! A fuck!" Everybody, and I mean everybody, stopped whatever they were doing and looked in the direction he was pointing. Sadly, many people gave my poor friend the "bad mommy" look.
And nobody ever asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
I got it! You had a chinchilla in your pocket as you went to the mall. You forgot the chinchilla was there, and slipped your hand in your pocket. The chinchilla bit you, and you yelled, "Fuck!"
LOL! I got a good chuckle out this and Swami's friend's son.
I haven't said Fuck in front of my kids yet but I did say Shit, when a car almost backed into me. Other than that, they've heard me say Damnit countless times.
No worries, he'll forget it.
I have to admit, if Arkie's creative story ever happened to me, I would definitely say it then, too.
Clarification: those are the new words that Dominic learned today.
*sits and waits for Swami's story*
Actually, you should know that I rarely say "fuck." In French, I have a mouth like a truck driver, but in English, I'm kind of a prissy schoolma'am.
Oh! and the moderator at the bad baby names board has a chinchilla called Chinzilla.
Maybe we can focus on Chinchilla. I always thought a good name would be "Chin-Chin" as in Chin-Chin the Chinchilla.
Pocket is a good focus too. Lots of fun things in pockets like, cookies, candies and tickling hands.
P.S. You knew it had to happen some time. Now you have to be on your best behaviour. On the other hand, we had friends who didn't hide it as that's who they were - people who used the F-word.
P.P.S. I've just re-found the pics from last summer. I'm sure Dom has changed a lot! Oink!

Greetings, Sneezy!
My boss really enjoyed The Life of Pi. He always seemed to think I'd enjoy literature. Sadly, I'm not smart enough for it.
*****
My son still says "f" for any number of consonant blends. Dumptruck = dumfuck. That's humour.
OTOH, my daughter has always spoken with crystal clarity. When she was 2, we were driving on the highway. It was just the 2 of us in the car when someone cut me off quite unexpectedly and I gasped and hit the brake, narrowly avoiding a nasty collision. As I tried to catch my breath, I heard a helpful little voice in the back asking "Fuck, Mommy?" Daddy and I had a little chat.
Morning Coco! Did you get as much snow as we did on the weekend? In the past week we've had almost 3 feet of the white stuff. Yes, it is very pretty but my back is tired of shovelling it off the deck.
I've told the story of my nephew Mathew before and his difficulty with certain sounds. We brought him camping with us one time when he was really little and Dave and another guy took him across the lake in the boat and then they walked down a trail that had a number of exposed tree roots. Mathew had a stick in his hand and as he followed behind Dave and the other guy he piped up and said, "I'm gonna poke you in the butt with a big dick." I can hardly wait until he gets married. I want to be the MC. *evil grin*
Welcome Sneezy! Gesundheit.
Lol at Lights and Seana.
Coco, when your kids learn a new swear word this means that soon you will ge having relatives visit. That's how it works. Two out of three of my kids learned to yell 'Oh Shit!' just days before the MIL and then my mom came for a stay.
Hi Breezy!
And Arkie told a story so I'm off the hook.
Hi Sneezy!
Do we know Sneezy? Why doesn't Sneezy have a blog?
*Counts weeks since Beeloop's birth*
Okay, so "fuck" is probably not a good word yet.
"Chinchilla* is pretty good. I've been hearing a lot of "NO MEDICINE" these days. And during football season, I accidentally screamed, "bullshit," which was soon picked up by Conner too.
*smooches Coco's boo boo*
How cute to hear him say chinchilla *giggle*
Oh, I forgot about "Bring it on". Should have added that one to my list LOL.
*waves* to Sneezy. I also love the movie "Miss Congeniality".
Going to post. Thanks for the tag Coco. LOL!
I posted my tag. Are you proud of me? LOL!
Why did you not put the Harry Potter books in the blank space there?
Sneezy has a small blog but she doesn't know the protocol to let others in.. Please help.
Coco, I love Bring It On. Eliza Dushku - mmmm. :-)
I said the "F" word in the car with my older daughter last week (under my breath) when a car almost backed into us. It was the first time. She'll be 18 in 4 months!
I forgot about Bring It On. I love that movie too.
