Language question.

It stands to reason that whatever words a child hears most, they learn to speak first. That's why so many toddlers have 'NO!' figuring so largely in their vocabularies. With that in mind, I want to know why The Baby's first sentence is not "Sekhmet, you fucker!"

  1. Give her a few more months and she could be using all kinds of fun words. For example, my two-year old decided that chanting "damnit" was great fun this morning. And I can only blame myself.

  3. You leave a sweater out, the cat lies on it and it's the CAT'S fault?

    Good kitty, ignore the mean lady.

  4. She won't say stuff like that until your parents and/or in-laws are around - it's not worth it until then.

  6. My mom says my dad stopped swearing where I could hear him when I first started talking and told him, "Shut up!"

    My husband said our son picked up words we emphasized in our sentences, the really stressy-sounding words. So if he said, "DAMN it, don't pull all my CD's onto the floor!" . . . guess which word our son would pick out to repeat?

    Hint: not CD's. Not floor. And definitely in front of sweet grandmotherly women.

  7. (lol) Yeah...that's why Kewyn went running out of the house screaming "I'm a PSYCHOPATH!"
