I seriously laughed so hard because of this I cried.

My boyfriend looked at me like I was crazy, so I read it to him, and he just continued to look at me.

Oh well, I thought it was funny.

Sounds like he thought it was worth it. I like that kid.

Ya did good. If a little salty language is all you've got to worry about you should pat yourself on the back.

Yeah, he's not too bad when he's not being an idiot (he's the one with the 5 ER trips). He just knew the rule of you can say those words about something, but not about someone. I gave up trying to teach the kids to not repeat what DH says on a regular basis when he forgets there are small ears nearby. So the rule is just not about someone and please try to avoid doing so in public too often.

See, you understand a basic rule that it took my DH YEARS to comprehend; you gotta pick your battles!

Yea, we had the short bus joke as kids. . .the funny thing is that where we are now, the short buses are used for the cheerleaders and other small groups.

I'm afraid ill never be nominated for that one! back in 79

, I had just rented a beautiful fully furnished house, new carpet, new leather furniture the whole nine yards! any way i had 3 children at that time, DS, DD, and brand new DS, well that evening for dinner i made fried chicken, i made up the seasoned flour in a large bowl, I was so tired i left the mixture on the counter (my fault) well brand new DS kept me up all night, so i finally got to sleep sometime that morning, any way my oldest son who was like 4 at the time came up the stairs and told me him & his sister were making "pancakes" I didn't think anything of it, I thought they were pretending, so i told him to be good & watch TV for a little while & keep an eye on his sister & i would be up in a few,..... when i got up and went down stairs, OMG!! they had flour & water & eggs from one end of the house to the other completely painted the furniture just a total mess!...................so, when i got out of prison.......................................

Tried to get DH to not say the words. Yeah right. Please. It was enough of a learning curve to not get every third word to be non-repeatable.

Tried VERY hard to get the kids to not repeat what Daddy said. Yeah right.

Tried grumbling/pitching a fit when kids repeat what Daddy said. FAIL!!!! My hissy fit made it all the more fun to say the words.

I gave up. They can say whatever about something. But nothing like that about someone. And PLEASE try to only do that at home. If it's a slip up in public, meh, I don't react. If it's like DS did, yeah, they get in trouble.

But it makes for a fun call from school when a child goes "The beeping pencil broke." and went to get a new pencil, not thinking they had done anything wrong.

Oh geesh!! Looks like from your signature you did let them grow up after all. Not sure I'd have managed, if I'd been on no sleep in a new place that was furnished.

Ok, they are HAPPY tears. But still, waaaaaa......

Just got a call from DD14's boss. Thought of all the horrible things that could have happened, she got hurt, she's being the spawn of Satan, whatever.

Nope. She's been taking things to a few campaigns on her way home once they are done printing/cutting at work. 4 campaigns sent her boss letters about how glad they are he hired her, how good of a job she's done to get them the right packages, how they are getting everything on time or early. She got similar letters he thinks, but she wasn't in yet to open them.

When did my babies grow into adults on me?

Shhhhhh don't let your DD know but I think that's a sign that you did a halfway decent job raising her!!!!

I did this on a 90 degree day when my daughter was 18 months old. I put her in her seat and shut the door, forgetting I had put my keys in her lap while I buckled her in. I was hysterical!


Love this thread! My kids (6, 4, and 4... baby's napping) are currently all playing X-Box while I browse chicken-related stuff... hey, it's Friday!
