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.
Lol kids are funny. My 3 year old daughter has just started saying “I am do degradatated”. She heard it on the movie “Little Women” with Wynona Rider(sp?). The youngest daughter on the movie is always making up big words. I asked my daughter what “degradatated” meant and she said “it means I want my daddy”. Lol!
