Twice today, my child has said "dammit" in the contextually appropriate fashion. Once, he almost dropped his sippy cup. Once, he couldn't get up because he was laying in the black hole that is a pile of my down comforter. Drew is proud that he's saying it in the right way, I'm mortified that he'll say it where he oughtn't. I've mostly eliminated "shut up" from my vocabulary; clearly I'm going to have to eliminate a few other things.
He's also been saying "I sowie" for no good reason, although I like to think he's apologizing for kicking his way out of my womb 3 months early. That, or apologizing for the adventure that is yet to come. Either way, it's cute, and he's forgiven.

ha ha ha ha ha! That is so funny! It's waaay funnier, though, when someone else's kid is doing it---Mine crazy child has been calling people "Stupid man" every chance he gets--like when they're doing something wrong or not moving fast enough
A friend of mine's two year old once let out a very loud "sh*t" at a very quiet time in church once when she dropped her crayons. LOL.
I'm proud of Ace.
Woot Woot! Welcome to the world of the mortified parent :)
I was driving with Blake when he was about Ace's age and some girl was driving like a maniac (imagine that in a college town... they all either don't know where they are going or they are too drunk to care!). Anyhooo... Blake let's out a "Do you think you own the road chickypoo?" Thank goodness he didn't swear (this time)... but sure made me realize I needed to tone it down.
LOL :)
Dammit, I love your kid! :)
One time when something fell out of the fridge on my foot, I said "Son of a" and a little voice piped up and said "bitch". I wanted to crack up, but I told him that's only a mommy word, and he shouldn't say it.
At least he is using it in the right context! LOL!
I do not know why men think it's ok for children to swear if they are using it in the right context. Hubby said the same thing when Mini-me said a cuss word for the first time.
That cursing habit sure is a hard one to break ain't it? Especially when you have issues with Wal-Mart and In-Laws and Dish Network.......
My son a few years ago dropped his gameboy and said, "dammit!" then immediately looked up at me and starting WAILING tears saying how bad that was, and how terrible he was. I just stood there shocked at his reaction.
I never said a word to him. He was way harder on himself than I could have been. And I haven't *heard* him say it again. =)
That's why you're supermom. :)
Stacey, my sympathies to you. Hubby and I had to really clean up our vocabularies when our daughter was beginning to talk. My road rage was the worst!
the red-head always says 'i sowwy' when i start screaming at people while driving...
Sandi - you could give me a written statement from your husband and all of your friends, an affidavit from a police officer, and a tape of yourself in the act, and I would still never in a million years believe you were a road rager.
I can.
Doghouse - you can believe Sandi is a road rager? Have you seen her wrath?
