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.
Hey! What a surprise! Hostile 17! Can I get you a drink, Hostile 17?

[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.

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
Toddlers really think adults are retarded, don't they?
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.

Because books.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
IME, this pretty much lasts until college.
I think it was Dennis Leary who said that our kids, the ones we cried and bled for (in my case, this is TRUE), the ones we paced the floor with at 3 a.m. as infants and killed ourselves to give them everything we possibly could, would end up snotty teenagers, smoking in the back of some kid's car saying, "My parents are such ASSHOLES!"
That's a sobering thought.
Yeah yeah, I'm shakin' in my Pull-ups.
BWAH!

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.
Hee.
My brother went through a stage of saying "fudder" to virtually everyone he encountered. Fortunately only my mom knew what he was actually saying, and then her challenge was to keep a straight face while people cooed at the "made-up" word.

Ok. I appear to not be able to stop coughing. Damn it. Damn it. Damn it. I've worked too hard for this!
