My mom is funny. Here is one of her comments on this blog:
“Other note of interest … on going to your site from over here I received a warning message that I was going to encounter “mature adult material”. Bring it on!”
I am not sure where the mature adult material is. I’m a mature adult, so maybe the computer has picked up on my whining about needing to be responsible for those around me who are not mature adults. Or maybe the denizens of computer decency don’t like the word “shit”. We actually use this word and the word “crap” a lot around here. But we don’t swear much. We mean it quite literally. In a house with a baby in diapers and a 2& 1/2 year old struggling to get OUT of diapers, there is quite a lot of excrement around to talk about…. and we wash our own cloth diapers, so there is no avoiding it. ”There is crappy underwear in the toilet. WHO left crappy underwear in the toilet?!” This is usually me. In my haste to change diapers/repair the damage of accidents, etc, I often leave things “to soak”, a technique that I believe in and Brad has no patience for. He is right though that you forget something is “soaking” until you really need to go to the bathroom.
Our kids don’t repeat these words much as I think they have lost their allure.

The warning was from Net Nanny. You obviously used some words that alerted her to the danger. . . . perhaps it was Zephyr & Francis’ discussion of criteria for being a princess or not.

Thankfully, “dammit” remains popular with the kids.

Dammit is pretty cute coming from a kid. It’s so… country. Mike refers to everything as “fecally contaminated”. He blames any illness or bad smell on it. Sounds nastier that “crap”.

Oh my gosh. Those words are not so good coming from your kid when you are the teacher of a group of pre-school kids! Other parents are not so happy about their kids learning things like that, especially from the teacher’s kid! Emma’s speech is not so clear, and when she was little, “dammit” was her word for sandwich. I tried my best to avoid sandwiches while she was at school! I think there were a couple of times where both girls have said, “What the hell?”. That is over though, now we just have to work on Emma’s truck driver sized burps. She rattles the windows!

Thankfully I am far away from the kids’ school setting.

Gosh, Ingrid. Your word usage is shocking! I think I’m gonna pass out from the maturity of this blog.
Okay, okay, this is coming from a mama who likes to say WTF?? in front of her own spongy kid! Hah!

Sometimes I wonder why I say these things! Actually, I may have grossly cursed in front of Holly half a dozen times, but it’s not a regular thing. Except that she does now like to say, “dammit,” which we tease her about.
