I'm wearing pajama pants to school today, which means I'm wearing pajama pants to work as well. I'm such a lazy slacker.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sara heard one of us telling the dog to shut up when she was yapping at an innocent passerby, and now her big thing when she's mad is to say, "Shup [sic] up!" This earns her a hairy eyeball, which she finds hysterically funny.
I heard myself yelling at our dogs to "shut up". I'm trying to retrain myself to "SSSHHHHHHUSH" them or just say "QUIET!".
Her other thing is "Right! Now!" when she's being told no. "I want apple right! now!" As if we didn't understand that already.
Toddlers really think adults are retarded, don't they?

Because books.

Pretty much.
We have to watch everything we say now -- she's a regular little parrot. I just caught her saying "Oh, man!" with inflection and everything.

My favorite Leif line from this weekend was when I asked him if we should stage a mutiny and he agreed with a happy "Okay!". You'd have to be there though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

IME, this pretty much lasts until college.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Emeline has been heard to say something that sounds remarkably like "Shit!"
Oddly, she did not get that from me. My profanity tends to be more polysyllabic.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can just see them in toddler bars bitching us out.
"My Mom, man, NO clue... I SAID 'NOW'"
And nothin', right? She just looks at you all "I'm the Mommy..."
Yeah yeah, I'm shakin' in my Pull-ups.
Heaven help us when voice recognition is good enough for Toddler chat rooms.

And all those people who put good money on "fuck" being her first word lose good money. I hope you're happy with yourself.

The boys learned all their curse words from me, usually while we were in traffic. ::sheepish::

Thrive to spite them
One of the books I got this weekend was an Encyclopedia of Cooking from 1947,it's more of a homemaker's guide. I've just started reading the nutrition portion of the book, it goes into detail about how to give your family the most viatmins and minerals, what they do,etc. The book says children should only have bland food, nothing seasoned except with the barest amount of salt and no rich food, especially pastry. The book doesn't recommend giving children cooks until they are 4 years old and then only arrowroot or graham crackers.
They also stress the importance of breakfast and suggest that if your child isn't hunger than you should get him up 1 hour early and have him do chores.
