Miss Mary at the daycare center whispered to me the other day when I arrived, "Zara has started cursing! Yesterday at snack. She started yelling a bad word."
She eyed me carefully, attempting to gauge my reaction. I think she was wondering whether I would go all, not my babygirl on her. But I was more puzzled initially than anything else.
"Really?" I replied.
"Yes," she answered seriously, "I just don't know where she could have picked up that word."
Then the lightbulb went off. I didn't even have to ask her what word she was talking about. Now everything became clear.
"Did you happen to be serving Goldfish?"
"Yes! How did you know?" she asked, wide-eyed.
How did I know? I repeated to myself. Well, that's a funny one.
"Well we have a bit of an issue with Zara and Goldfish..." I began.
Yet my internet friends, this is something you truly have to hear all for yourselves. Have a listen.
We have tried multiple interventions, but still, the problem remains...

What a way to end a day, teendoc. LOL. Thanks for that.
Thumbed. Off to the feed with you!
This goes into the file of things we can embarrass Zizi with in front of her prom date like this picture:
(Not sure if it will show up in the comments...if not, will one day create a post listing the pics/audio files and videos we have accumulated to date toward this endeavor)
She sighed, rolled her eyes and said, Oh, shit, mama. I immediately laughed and improved myself awareness of expletives that might shoot out of my mouth.
Rated for super cute kid voices.
I love that.
the Kid uses a word that suspiciously sounds like 'shit' for several different things, including 'sit'. Very interesting reactions at daycare. heh heh
A word about child care teachers: as a former child care program administrator, and once-upon-a-time teacher, we walk a fine line. Sure these things are adorable, until the whole class of 2-year-olds starts saying it and the other parents complain that their kids are learning bad words at child care. So we try to keep a light touch and let parents know what their children are saying or doing, without getting phased by much. And of course the more attention you give to use of "bad words" the more fun they are to say! Gotta laugh.
Absolutely PRECIOUS!!!
Reminds me of a friend who was told by a preschool teacher at a parent conference that her daughter did well except for one problem: "Whenever she drops something, she says, 'Fuck!'"
Her mother replied with a bright smile, "Oh! She gets that from me!"
MY.
GAWD!
I must admit that I take unceremonious glee in the fact that you are creating an "embarrassing" file for your daughter. (It's something I think about often, for when I do finally decide to have kids.)
As much as BS is part of my spoken lexicon, from now on I think I will now use "goldfish" as a substitute.
The sound of a child's laughter is one of the happiest sounds, ever.
I was with a friend. She got into the car, realized she had left something in the store. She said "oh shit" almost in a wisper. Two year old Anne pipes up, "Mommy, why is Jackie whispering "oh shit"?
Kids say the darnedest things...
Definitely rated!
Reminds me that I took my little cousin to the mall and she said to her mom and I in front of everybody (murphys law) that she was Horny instead of Hungry. We have a great laugh!
