1. I was
cooking over the stove and the grease popped up and got my arm. I immediately
yelled "shit" while all three of my kids were sitting behind me at
the dinner table ready for their meal to be served. Great! They all
looked a bit shocked as to what just happened then Macey (my 19 month old)
quickly and loudly says "shit" and then started laughing. It was
priceless. It still makes me chuckle just seeing her face as she said it.
2. Yesterday
on the way a New Years Eve Party, Dylan says in the back seat, "what the
hell is that?" I immediately turn to Cameron who is driving with a
look of, "did he really just say that?" Cameron kinda made a face but
didn't say anything (apparently praying that Dylan wouldn’t say what he was
about to say). I preceded to then ask Dylan where he had heard that
saying and thinking it was from school or the bus and he says, "I heard it
today on the game daddy was playing, but don't worry, I am sorry, I know it's a
bad word. Are you mad at me mommy?" I answer, "No Dylan, it's
not you I am mad at” glaring at Cameron who knew from the beginning that he was
in the dog house. He just started laughing. What a punk! Ugh...I tell you, those video games are NO
GOOD! We have a deal that he can't play them while the kids are awake...BUT…I
took a nap yesterday…
I clearly don't
pretend to be one of those people who have it all together. I think it is
unhealthy and the cause of many insecurities in our culture (especially our
religious one). But I would like to think that that those people who
seem to have their perfect little lives with their perfect little children
sometimes let their mouths fly, and sometimes, just sometimes find the humor in
it. Oh what I would pay to see one of these perfect little women just
spout out some profanities…both for their sake and mine.
