WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!!!

Oh. my. cod.

So my husband and I are fucking around.

And when I was a kid my parents had this ridiculous remote control you get from a gag store that says obscene stuff. For years we still quote this thing because we're all class.

I even taught my husband.

And randomly thing like "y-y-you're an ass hole" in the right tone comes out and we laugh. Or "eat SHIT".

Hey. I never pretended we were classy. We're all 14 year old boys in our maturity.

So my husband was being a dumbass. And he mocked me. I mocked him. He was eating a pb&j and it was cracking me up.

And he? Goes "fu-fu-fu-fu-uuuuuuuuck you!" a la the obscene remote.

You know where this goes.

"fu fu fu fuuuuu ooooh."

Um. Seriously? I don't care about being profane in front of my kids. My parents swore and we knew those were grown up words. (Though my mother still acts like I shouldn't be able to use those words. Um....mommy dearest? No. You use them plenty. I'll use them if I want. I know. The woman has no authority. If you know the whole story. You know why. I love her though.)

So swearing in front of my kids? No biggie.

EXCEPT...I have a kid with autism. Going through a fabulous (no, SERIOUSLY it IS fabulous!) copying everything and phrases and jabbering away period.

And he lacks the comprehension of those are grown up words.

SOmehow I'm not interested in meeting his teacher next week with a child pretending to answer a phone (EVERYTHING is a phone. Hewow? Hi. click) and following it up with SHIT! FU FU FUCK YOU.

I'd like to at least PRETEND we aren't total trash.

You know the best part? I am the one with the FAR worse mouth. Iadmit it. Nothing lady like in me. And yet Liam? Just seems to copy daddy when he's using his potty language.

Unfortunately he could just be so used to me saying it that it bounces off his ears which is pretty horrifying. But also fabulous because HELLO! I can still swear and Josh has to be a sweet maiden saying shucky darn.

I think that sounds fab!

how awesome he is copying. I try my hardest and do a great job keeping the bad words to a minimum. Stupid and shut up are on the list of bad words, since I was told shut up stupid mommy. Jared likes to cover his mouth, whisper the word, then tell me he said a bad word, followed by no no! So he won't get in trouble. Daddy, has the bad mouth. Jared was pretending to drive to the rat/mouse place to get pizza in his pretend car. his aunt asked for bacon on her pizza. he slammed his hand on the steering wheel and said fuck! That's daddy all the way.
BTW - I am eating some candy corn and thought of you. Ben found me some AWESOME Carmel apple candy corn. Mmmm.... My new favorite. He got them at walgreens. let me know if you can find them, if not, I'll totally send you bogs of both, regular and apple!!! love you guys!!!
