My Little Sailor In Training

Don’t let sweet pictures of this child deceive you.

She is not as innocent as she looks.

But she does call things as she sees them (just like she did in the text message I sent to the husband).

Maybe I need to keep working on watching my language.

Or I maybe I’ll continue to say that she takes after her father. That seems easier.

Speaking of easy, my post over at Business 2 Blogger this week is about scheduling Facebook and Twitter to make your blogging life easier.

Hi and welcome! My name is Jessica Torres and I'm a homeschooling mom of two adorably insane girls on the path to greener living. I'm also self declared iPhone addict and lover of all things Apple. When not attached to my kids, my iPhone, or my laptop, you can find me creating cocktail recipes. Subscribe by RSS Feed or by email to join in the fun over here.

    She certainly provides a lot of laughs for grandma and I get a lot of mileage from these stories.

    When in doubt, blame it on the dad. That always works!

    My daughter LOVES to call me on my bad language. Even the slightest of bad words get a disapproving look and a, “Mom, you could think of a better word than THAT to use, I’m sure.”

    I’ll share my Mother of the Year award with you. We’re awesome. In other news, who let us have kids anyway??

  4. My toddler says, “Oh shit!” in the completely right context. So I can’t even say he said ‘chips’ not ‘shit’. Damnit.

    I am cracking up here! At least she is learning new vocabulary . . .

    She sounds so much like my 4 year old. I’d say they should get together, but if she really is anything like him I’m guessing that would be a hot mess consisting of being bossy, attitude, and stellar language!

    My kids have taken to saying “shut up” to the dogs. Which really, really bothers me . . . and that’s some of the language that I never, ever think twice about using (swearing, I might actually hold back, if I catch myself before I say it, and I’m in front of the kids).

    Damn them, for picking up every little thing.

      My daughter always calls the dog a dumbass. I wasn’t sure where she got it until I caught myself saying it one day. Never realized that was my nickname for him.

    How can you not be proud of her for using the words in the correct context?! My Leila busted out, oh shit, clear as day, when a picture fell off our wall. I was kind of proud ;) Luckily it wasn’t in public or I would have hung my head in shame.

  9. I hardly swore at all before I had kids, when it was fine to, and now that I have kids that I’m supposed to keep linguistically pure, I can’t help it! They just induce me to all kinds of swearing, lol. I usually stop myself before saying the complete word, but now that my oldest is almost 8, she knows how to fill in the blank. I really need to work on this!

    Oh my goodness. This actually makes me feel better when my little one pops out with her “potty” mouth. She had a phase where she would tell everyone “Bite my shiny metal a**.”

    Oh god, I’m constantly paranoid about this. And I don’t even realize I’m cussing, nor do I think I cuss a lot. But ummm, apparently I do? At least it’s funny!

  13. Why is it that children start listening to us right when we let our own inner sailors loose? Do they come with some kind of sensor or something?? She’s adorable!

    This cracked me up!! I actually started a post last week about my foul mouth and how it is rubbing off on Lucas. There was an incident this weekend in fact with my in laws. Gulp!! Stay tuned…

    P.S. She is so cute.

    My brothers came in from Seattle last night. They were greeted by Handsome dropping his sippy cup and saying, “oh shit.”

    And Victoria? Is totaly a bitch.

  17. Oh, she does look sweet!! I’m sure I would’ve laughed at her swearing too. She is using those words in the right context, though ;)

    Now I don’t feel so bad when my little one mimics swear words she hears me saying. In our house, Daddy’s mouth is the cleanest :P Believe it or not!
