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!"
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.
ReplyDeleteshe's gonna surprise you one day and say exactly those three words! Just you wait!
ReplyDeleteYou leave a sweater out, the cat lies on it and it's the CAT'S fault?
ReplyDeleteGood kitty, ignore the mean lady.
She won't say stuff like that until your parents and/or in-laws are around - it's not worth it until then.
ReplyDeleteI showed my husband this post. He walked around the house sniggering to himself saying, 'Sekhmet you fucker.' he he
ReplyDeleteMy mom says my dad stopped swearing where I could hear him when I first started talking and told him, "Shut up!"
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
(lol) Yeah...that's why Kewyn went running out of the house screaming "I'm a PSYCHOPATH!"
