A Blog? Really? Who gives a crap what I have to say?
Answer: don't care. I do, but I don't. I'm inspired by reading several friends' well written, humorous rantings and thought, "Hey, I have some funny thoughts about schtuff, too! Maybe other people might find some amusement in my little slices of observation."
"Schtuff". You can borrow that one. It's a "mommy-fied" kinder, safer version of a beloved four letter word. That's what happens when you become a mom. Well, not right away, but when your 2 year old starts saying, "$#@&" in the correct context, you quickly identify it's time to modify.
"Flock", that one followed next. It's four-lettered cousin came out of dear Pussycat's mouth when she was almost two. It came out of her mouth--drawn out and crisp at the end--just like Mommy used it--when she thought little ears weren't listening.
Yeah, it sucks, er, STINKS, but as a responsible parent, you have to clean it up. You don't want to be THAT parent who's kid taught all the other kid the really good dirty words or be the parent of the kid who incorporated these savory words into a well crafted sentence to the pre-school teacher. "Mrs. A, my pipecleaner elephant looks like $%#@."
So, if pussycat could read (she's 4 and working on it, thank you very much), I might title this post, "Who gives a Flock what Schtuff I have to say."
"Blamn", they're smart little "Turkeys."
Bwahahahahaha!!! I knew I was in trouble when my older son at age 2 and said "G-D it!!" when the Thomas the train he was playing with fell off the track. Um ... yeah... Thanks to my husband! I taught him instead to say "Awww man! or Oh GREAT!" instead since we've seen it on Dora or Scooby cartoons and won't get him in trouble with the preschool teachers!
ReplyDeleteI've learned to edit myself thanks to little ears (except after a few glasses of wine, LOL) If I hurt myself, I was say "Muther mmmmm mmmm" humming the last part.
Cute blog Shawn! ... and LOL on the pipecleaner elephant comment!
Nice. Gee, can't relate to that at all... :)
ReplyDeleteHarry wants to know if Mike just sits in awe and listens to you talk? He also wants to know if you took creative writing? He could listen to me read these to him all night, but he alas has to go to bed because he is living in this life and not another.
