The dreaded "F" word

For those of you that know me, you also know that I have a tendency to have quite a trucker's mouth. Well appearently is seems that the vernacular in my house needs some altering as Caitlyn has become somewhat fond of this word. The first couple times that she spoke it, I paid no attention to it hoping that she would forget about the word......no such luck.

Her latest sentence including this word was...
"I don't want to play this f*cking game anymore. The game that she is referencing is Hi Ho Cherry-O brought to her by Santa.

The reason that this latest statement has me so up in arms is because not only is she using the word appropriately in the proper context, but she is now managing to conjugate it! Yes, I am thankful that my child has learned how to conjugate verbs....but could she use words like jump and play and add the -ing to those? Nope, she has to stand out of course.

We have now had the discussion of what words are nice to say and what words that little girls are not supposed to say.

She is going to have a little sister named Baby Meghan

Caitlyn would love for this to be true. Her newest endeavor is telling people that I am having a baby. It is going to be a girl and she is going to name it Baby Meghan. She is actually convinving people that she has gone to the doctor with me as well.

So as we visit people during this holiday season, I have to forwarn those in the room that if she mentions it, it is not true. I have already had people congratulating me on the big news!

She hasn't spoken a funny word since October???

Not true. Of course Caitlyn has said numerous silly things. However, her mother is not very on top of things these days. So maybe I should get my butt in gear and start typing some of the things she has said. Easier said than done as now they are escaping my memory...of course.

There are a few that I can seem to recall and I will post those.
