potty mouth
April 7, 2008 at 3:25 pm (the boy)
the boy: lets one rip, loud, as 5 year old boys do
me: “You are such a fart boy!” (is she 12? you ask)
the boy: “NO. MORE. POTTY TALK!!!”
He turned the tables on me, yes he did. I seem to recall saying exactly that last week when I couldn’t stand the poop jokes anymore. <sigh>

Can you have him teach my kids that lesson…
I have a story for you about my boy…
DS drove to work with me and went to preschool on the base, while older DS and DD were in school in Billerica. So we are driving home from work, this guy totally cuts me off and I have to swerve and slam on my breaks…. A minute passes and my sweet little boy chimes from the back seat… “Mommie, was that a f*cking @$$hole???”
How do you respond back to a three year old?

OMG Nicole. I can only imagine. I would probably laugh and make it worse! Before the boy first learned to talk I realized I should curb my habit of swearing at bad drivers. Instead of saying @$$hole, I started saying dude whenever someone cut me off or whatever. After he turned 2, everytime I hit the brakes hard, I heard “duuude” come from the back. Thank god I stopped swearing early or I would have a story like yours instead.

I am going to have to deal with the “poop” jokes before I send David off to school. So yes, I’m going to have to curb my own potty talk as well. No fun.

The worst thing right now is his sarcasm, and I know exactly where he gets it. He’s gonna get in so much trouble in kindergarten the first time he says “hello? duh” to his teacher.
