Addict! Trying to rationalize your chicken habit. You're as bad as Rae.

Girl, 4 out of 5 were dudes! Btw I can stop anytime, im in total control.

*pssh* Call me when you have 100+ chickens. I intend to get down to 60 birds by the end of the fall.

...the woman, a well known chickenkeeper, who’d vowed to whittle her flock to a stated number of sixty by winter , was last seen surreptitiously delivering Christmas gifts in teensy-tiny boxes by the light of a single pocketsized flashlight, to over 100 birds...

Sometimes, I just want to smack my dad upside the head.

I've been carefully avoiding using words like "boob", "boobie", etc. in reference to breastfeeding. We've always called breastfeeding "milkies". Last night, the Milk Drinker pointed to both my breasts and said what I thought was "tit-tit", a term one of my sisters used to ask for milk. My DH thought I was hearing things. This morning, I was playing the game of asking the Milk Drinker what different body parts were called and after I stopped he pointed to roughly where his nipples are and clearly said "tit-tit".

....sigh....

I've come the the conclusion that my dad has been teaching him that nipples/breasts are called "tit-tit" when they've been watching him without me.

Good morning everyone

LOL replace "coffee" with "tea" and you have me....

Someone was talking about eggs they are incubating in another thread and they said "no pop this morning" and it took entirely too long to decide if hey meant "poop" or "pip".

Oh man. I’d have to have a sit down with him. That word is a no go for me.

In the mean time maybe you can coach what the little MD is saying to what You want him to call it with tons of positive reinforcement.
Even ta-ta’s like the bumper sticker -as in “save the ta-ta’s” is better than what he’s teaching him.

I've heard that chickens make excellent gifts.

Grandparents, right? SMH... my mom decided it was ok to give my toddler Pepsi. I'd specifically only been drinking sprite b/c of caffeine and sugar concerns so my child had never had it and of course fell in love w/ it and would sneak it from my mom's cup all the freakin' time. THEN once I caught my 2 year old sitting in a chair cigarette in her mouth, lighter in hand, trying to light a cigarette like my mom did so often. Oh, and putting sugar in their cereal. They had no idea what candy/ sugar was until my mom introduced it to them. Daycare was the best thing I've ever done for my kids.

At least my parents stop at cookies and stopped smoking before I was born. They even listen to my request to not feed him peanut butter because DH is allergic to it. We do let him carry around empty beer and hard seltzer cans to pretend play with though.
