Good Conversation

We sat down for dinner and I had forgotten the girls spoons. Jonathan got up and got them and gave Grace her spoon, a couple seconds later Grace says "damn mom". Jonathan and I looked at each other and I asked her what she just said and she repeated the same thing with a smile. I told her that was a naughty word and that we don't say that. I then asked her if she heard mom or dad say that and she said no {I was totally expecting her to say yes}. So I asked her where she heard that and she said "Markus". The only Markus we know is Jonathan's brother and the last time we saw him was in June. I'm sure I am the guilty one she heard it from, but I will let Uncle Mark take the fall this time.
A little bit later Jonathan was having problems with the computer and the girls were sitting by him and he commented that the computer kept "crapping out". Without missing a beat Grace says "no, Addie crapped herself."
I may not be doing everything right as a parent but at least I'm teaching Grace how to talk like a lady. :)

It sounds like she is going to be Micah Jr. which we all know and love:)

One of my favorite memories of you is your ability to swear and make it sound funny. It could be totally offensive if someone else says the same thing that you just make hilarious!

This is what I love about you: you say bad things, and you don't try to pretend like you don't :) By the way, I plan on emulating your parenting style when the kitties finally learn to talk. (did I tell you we acquired another? I must be stupid)
