Parenting Ain't Easy

The Reality of a Brat is holding a contest! This is my offical entry. Go visit her post to view the rules! It run through September 10th, so you better get a move on!

My oldest daughter is now 17, but when she was about 3 or 4 she uttered her first curse word. She was concentrating on moving a pile of small toys (which included a penny or two) from one room to another. Her hands were small so she had to take several trips. She finally squated down and started to arrange these toys. Suddenly she she stood up, put her hands on her hips, and ever so seriously said "Oh, Sh*t."

I tried not to laugh. I really did. I could not help myself. She was so cute when she said it. I did manage to lecture her and I did not hear her say it again until she was much older so I must have done something right. But I still chuckle when I think about it.
