I hope you know I was just playing along. Maybe I should have included a smiley or something. A sarcasm tag doesn’t seem to work for a post where you are just joking around.
I can’t stand to hear people use the word “ain’t”. My husband uses horrible grammar just to irritate me. I tell him he can use all the bad grammar he wants after I am finished teaching the English language to my children. They pick up bad habits from their daddy.
Yes, kids are like Mockingbirds...
Funny story....when my oldest was around 3 or 4...we were in the backyard. I was on the lawn, and she was in the garden playing around. I thought I heard her say "dammit"....Yikes!!
I asked her to repeat what she said..and sure enough she had said it. Could not for the life of me figure out where see had picked that up....We didn't talk like that, and no one around her did either.
One day I noticed while watching..."Star Trek" with her ( She liked the show..as did I )..they said "dammit" now and again...
Of course she had no idea...that she shouldn't talk like that. And of course we corrected that!! Ha!!
Take Care...you are doing a wonderful thing with your children.
