This week you’ve started to talk in whole sentences. Like,
“The bird is in the sky. Up there.”
And the like. And in addition to using your own sentences, you’ve decided to repeat verbatim what other people say to you, back to them:
“Let’s go eat now”; “Lets feed the chickens”; “I like eggs”….
So today I was pulling out of our street into the busy road on the way to drop you (O) at daycare when someone nearly hit me… I swerved and said,
“Fuck. Stupid asshole. Did you see that, they almost hit us.”
Can you see where this is going???..
….
….
….
You proceeded to babble in the back about “ducks” with a certain inflection in your voice the rest of the way to daycare.
Nice one mum.
P.S. Yes, we have instituted the swear jar, as I’ve written about before. But at present the rules are that it only applies once you walk in the front door. With the unspoken proviso that both your Dad and I try to adhere to it around you at most times…. But as I’ve also said before that I think I have contributed the most to the about $150 we’ve collected so far..
Rest assured, we have had the same issue.
