In order to get to our house, you must cross a freeway overpass/bridge. On this bridge, there are two lanes going each way and are a tad confusing at times. For example, picture four lanes at a stop sign. Two in one direction and two in the other direction. Got it? Ok, so within the two lanes, you have one that goes straight and one that turns left. People in the left turn lane will often go straight without realizing that they are cutting off the other car. So here is what happened after church today. (Disclaimer....this contains language that is not used at our home except in dire circumstances!! Seriously!)
We are in the lane to go straight to our house when Ryan says,"What are you doing Jack***." (Yes, the person in the other lane just went the wrong way and almost rammed into our car.) Makena says,"Jack***. Who's Jack***? What are you doing Jack***?" Ok, so I totally lost it and stated laughing, silently. Ryan is cracking up too, silently. We chose not to say or acknowledge it in hopes that she would forget that word. When we got in the house, the kids went to play and we started laughing again. Ryan said, "Yea, bad choice of words for me." I just cracked up again b/c hearing your innocent four year say that word in a sweet voice is just too much. Alas, the lesson of watching your(our) language has been learned...we hope. We also hope she never utters that word again. Have a great Sunday!

Mel,
I can't stop laughing I had to read the story to Jon and he laughed too.
BTW Did you ever get an email from me last week?
NO!!!! hmmmmm...ok, try this ryannmel@att.net
I have no idea why I am not getting all of your emails! Grrr..I am glad you guys laughed b/c you know how we normally speak which makes this even funnier!
You are a very creative Mom. The creative ones are humble like you. If your wondering though, the Family Fun Mag for October is adorable as ususl, containing many neat ideas for creative crafts/art. Parenting Mag is good as well. Fall art always gets me excited, bring on the chili!
Mel, I am soooo glad I wasn't in the car because I would have cracked up too. I can only imagine her sweet voice repeating the word. Hopefully, she won't innocently repeat it in pre-school at some point....Last week I called a guy in a truck a "dummy head" and Sav. asked right away.."What's a dummy head? Yeah, so I had to explain that one....
