The Mock Turtle

In the car, "My velociraptor has been bad. I've put him on my time out knee"

Berty: Mummy, why do husbands shoot people?
Me: Well they don't, as a rule.
Berty: But they do in the song?
Me: Really? Which song?
Berty: In a cottage in a wood, a little old man at the window stood. He saw a rabbit running by, knocking at the door. "Help me, help me, help me," he cried, "Before the husband catches me..."

Good to know she has a positive image of marriage.

Oh, the timeout knee is adorable!

Did you correct her, Lora, or just leave it as it lies?

I was backing into a parking space at Charlie's daycare this morning, and went too far and hit the snowbank. A little voice in the backseat piped up with, "Fuck's sake, Mommy."

I really have to start curbing my swearing in the car. She even has the context down.

Swearing Charlie, disciplinarian small Tex and Betty's view of relationships are wonderful!

I thought it best to correct her . She doesn't fancy trying rabbit though.

They're such verbal mirrors, aren't they?

It's strange, as M never really spoke at Charlie's age or really mimicked me, so I'm learning just how much some kids can sponge up. She picks up EVERYTHING, last night she was walking all stiff armed and legged saying "oh, oh, I AM A RO-BOT" in a robot voice. Like, what the hell?

We had that! J used to march around saying, "I AM 'OBOT!" Where do they get it?

I have no idea! We've been trying to figure out where it came from, but we can't think of anything she's seen. Same with shrieking "SUPER BUNNY!!!" when she runs from room to room. It's like she's a drunk with adhd.

At dinner yesterday, mindee asked me if I would buy them some 7Up.

Me: No, I don't buy fizzy drinks, they're not very good for you.

Mindee: Do you like fizzy drinks?

Me: No not really, we never drink them here.

Zoe: You like to drink wine, don't you Mummy.

:shame:

Brilliant Is! Everytime E is in the supermarket with Junior, she reminds him to get wine for Mammy!

What a grass.

Zoe.

Love Zoe!

G was trying to think of a way to get me off his back earlier and said very bossily "sit down your chair Mummy. Claudia eat your boob!" :eek:

I am now teaching him the word 'breastfeeding', clearly my airy fairy explanation of this is how Claudia has her milk was all too boring and he just says what he sees .

Eat your boob! I'm howling!

Reading: "puh ah n" So that spells? Something you cook with? (In a mockery of my accent) "Saucepun!"

He decided that 'You can be Handy Manny and I'll be Handy Fanny!'.

I've not read the thread, but unfortunately every time I see the title I think of that fucking arsehole Bieber.
