Potty Mouth

Today while the family was shopping Case was running around yelling what we later determined to be ‘your bridge.’ However the phrase was not enunciated properly through his 2 year old vocabulary. I will let you decipher what embarrassing word that starts with a B his ‘bridge’ sounded like. I was concentrating on shopping and didn’t even notice his shenanigans until one of the check out people gasped after Case said ‘your bridge’ again. I’m amazed at how quickly my defenses went up and went up on so many different levels. I immediately looked at her and said with an emphatic ‘No. That is not what he is saying.’ My first defensive reflex was about my marriage. Kids learn things from example and my husband would never say anything like that to me especially in front of the children. Second, I was defensive of my parenting. I am a good parent and would never allow my son to listen to talk like that in any venue. Embarrassed, I left the store is such disarray I forgot my purchase and had to go back in a second time. Once I was out of the store I couldn’t stop laughing. Kids do say the darndest thing. I am sure this is payback from my childhood because some of my mothers favorite stories of little Holly include me in public places shouting 4 letter words. Another phrase Case has recently been saying which makes me laugh each time is ‘frustration.’ Whenever he gets told no or is unable to do something without help he hangs his head down and says in a low voice, ‘frus-tration.’ I don’t know where he got it from but it’s hilarious. So my question to you is, what embarrassing things have your kids said in public? In other dirty fun, Case has been enjoying finger painting. Note to self, don't wipe you nose while finger painting. Ahhhh! That is one crazy psychedelic booger!
