Tell me what you really think.
That story never gets old.
WF
Some of the cutest things our kids do are the things that embarass us in public. Great story.
Wonderful story, Mamacita!
My mother never had potty-mouth until my sister was a potty-mouthed adolescent. The first time that my mom said "shit," you could've knocked me and my father - and even my sister, who was the first to use that word in our house - over with a feather.
Heh. I'm pretty sure I would have been rolling on the floor laughing my ass off. That really is too freaking funny...
I do hope by now that darling Belle is more comfortable expressing herself with shit. 
You know, I think I would have had to snatch up the child, run outside, and then die laughing.
-G
Digress on... I had no problems with this more personal and good natured reminiscing.
Listen Ms. Scheiss, would you like to do an email conversation? I don't rip out arteries as an occupation and am more than glad to discuss the points... but can do the opposition thing if you prefer
I liked reading your daughters site...and you normally have good posts that I find no issue with.
And now, yeah, I know.... I don't think someone stupid hits their target quite so directly, but the target wasn't you personally it was the thing you said.
Now back to your usual programming....
I remember asking my mom at age 13 if I could say "shit" and how much she laughed. I never got away with it again.
Lordy, don't they remember everything you ever say?
One day a few years ago there was a motorcycle vs. car accident in front of my house...my daughter was watching the goings-on from the front door. When the people got out of the car to check on the poor guy who was thrown from his motorcycle, she shouted, "You DUMBASSES!"
And when the paramedics arrived she gave them a thumbs-up and said, "Good job, guys!"
*sigh*
F'n A, Mamacita!!!
That was a funny story. Kids are crazy and they are just like a sponge. They will soak up everything that goes on a round them.
Michele sent me. But I'll be back.
JUST TODAY my 3 year old and I were in traffic. I must admit, I use foul language. Never at anyone and, besides in front of my children, never in a place where it would raise eyebrows.
Anyway, someone in traffic was trying to edge into my lane, where there really wasn't room. I said to myself quietly (honest) "What the f***, dude?" to which my daughter instructed the driver, "Go ahead, ass". Nice.
mamacita,
Was it really ilona who ripped your artery out? Ich verstehe nicht. I see she responded above, not an apology, just a reiteration "it wasn't you, it's what you said." Please help me out here, what exactly was the offense? The Mary Poppins story was funny, well written, exciting, and seemed likely enough, based on my limited experience with fundamentalist christian groups. Well, except the umbrella thing, maybe. But allowances can be made for dramatic effect! Please, one of you, fill in the blanks.
Another thing: The Schiess apologizes way too much.
Frank McCourt's puts it best when he says "To Hell with the Begrudgers!"
Hee hee! You're a teacher. All teacher's develop potty mouth! I learned some of the best phrases from my students. Currently, I am working VERY hard at cleaning things up, since Girl Terror is repeating everything. "Crap" is the favorite word right now. Sigh.
A friend of mine has a daughter and when she was three, she was very outspoken. She was half Italian and half Polish and spoke both languages plus english to a certain extent. At a party with her oh so proper grandparents on the Italian side, she tugged grandma's skirt, and when grandma leaned down to find out what she wanted, she said "wanna hear me curse in Italian?" The things kids say lol!!!!
What a hoot!
Hello! Michele sent me.
Nice story.
Out of the mouth of babes and all that.
What a hilarious post! Thanks for brightening my day.
Out of the mouth of babes 
LOL beautiful!
We never cursed in front of our kids in English. We have the great advantage of being bilingual
Then when my oldest was in 2nd grade, he became friends with a 10yo in our apartment complex, who taught him every word in the dictionary. Only took him two weeks to pick it all up. After that, I figured I had permission to cuss in any language I like. I have to admit I felt kind of thankful towards that little 10-year-old.
I'm gonna go search for the Mary Poppins post now...
lmfao...
lol, i can definitely relate to this post
Hee hee. Given the language DBF and I use I dread to think what our kids (when/if) will pick up and come out with at inappropriate moments.
Glorious.
