Lila said her first swear word last night, we're so proud!
Andy had just finished a work rant with several f-bombs included. SHe was playing with her Little People (she loves those things) on the floor and when he left the room she said "Oh f*ck" clear as day. I didn't move, laugh, reprimand or anything. I was shocked (though i don't know why) and I thought if I don't react she might not do it again.
Hopefully she's not at Nonna's today telling all the kids to f*ckoff and get away from her Mickey Mouse.

Miles' first word will either be "Doggie" or "Motherfuucker". I'm sure of it.
I don't get people who can't refrain from swearing around children, other than the random "***! I burned my finger."
If curse words are just an addition to your vocabulary and you don't talk like a sailor (or, alternately, like a WT idiot) then I don't even think you have to censor yourself all that much.
Obviously, the exclamation after J was nearly side-swiped fit into the '*%(@ I burned my finger!" category. Otherwise, he's three and cursing has yet to be an issue for my kiddo who rarely stops talking.

Remember the clock/*** issue we had? Well now she's having trouble with r's
So, her new obsession is with Thomas Train. No r's, no problem. Except there's a Percy character. So in the toystore she sounds like she's yelling pvssy
Yeah, it pretty much sounds like that when Connor yells excitedly "I want my Percy!" Ugh.
YUP. It was during the brainstorming session about the dmaned themesong.
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
It's so cute when kids can't say their r's. I remember my niece saying paw-pull instead of purple.
I watched Thomas the Tank Engine once and it was deadly. I'm hoping Ian doesn't get introduced to it somewhere else.

thomas and his friends.
That's for getting this shiz stuck in my head. You're welcome.
This doesn't involve a swear word, but yesterday we took Matt for his 30 month checkup. He got the pneumococcal vaccine and cried a little bit. The (really nice) nurse finished up and left the room. By then Matt was down on the floor getting his pants on. He looks at the door right as she leaves, big fat tear still sitting on his cheek, horrified look on his face and says "who was that?"
Ha! Like, "why would she DO such a thing to me?!"
Thomas is one of the few kid shows that doesn't bug the crap out of me. Why do people hate it?
One time when Lorne and his friend were playing Madden his friend fumbled and said "Dammit!" And Will started repeating it that night, but only when something went wrong. Then he didn't say it for several days, then four or five days later he was eating soup and dropped his spoon in the bowl and said, "Dammit!" I was somewhat proud of him for figuring out the proper context of a new word.
Noisy gotta love when they use it proper context. Like my friend's kid who after several unsuccessful attempts at getting a noodle to stay on a spoon, let out a frustrated sigh, looked at it and said "Effin spoon!"
Wendy- At least it was a reference to a car and not a person. My friend's 3 y/o niece went to work with her dad and after meeting the boss announced several times "But Daddy he doesn't look brown and stinky!"
Phantom rater can bite my Percy.
I don't hate Thomas, but the song drives me batty. Thomas has become so popular in our house that there was a last minute change in birthday party theme. (sorry Hezz)
I need to find really cheap conductor hats for favours by Sunday. Never gonna happen.
