The other day, when it was about three thousand degrees outside, we were venturing out to combat the stir crazies.
The air conditioner was cranking and doing a pretty good job of icing us all down. After a short time, Bean piped up from the back seat,
"Momma, I need a blanket. I need to cover my toes and my head and my legs and my everything! I'm freaking cold."
Um, excuse me?
I asked her to repeat herself.
"I need a blanket! I'm freakin' cold!"
"Er, you're what?"
"Freakin' cold! I'm cold, Mama!"
"You're WHAT cold!?" I was starting to mentally go over our latest trips in the car to be sure I hadn't started saying that out loud (again). Nothing.
Then, I got it.
"You're freezing cold?"
"YES Mama! Can you turn the hair conditioner off?"
Phew. Safe.

Hahahaha! My kids say *stinkin'* on a pretty regular basis... is that bad?
ReplyDeleteLOL that is too good. I love the miscommunications between parents and kids.
ReplyDeleteEr... I'm just happy my kids aren't saying something worse than freaking, if you know what I mean. Gah. It's embarassing. Jim and I are good upstanding church goers and everything, I swear! Yet we both slip up with the language quite often. Blame it on that rebellious youthful period, I guess. We just try to cover it up and move on quickly so the kids don't notice the word!
ReplyDeleteMy 5 year old son, will not repeat any swear words, but if my husband or myself say a "bad" word, he is the one to tell us we shouldn't say that. I think it's good he calls us out. It makes you a little more mindful of what you say.
