Hunter is constantly learning new words and phrases...some great, others...well, not so much. Today, within 5 minutes of each other he said the following:
"Wow! You smell fantastic!" (fantastic is a wonderful, fairly new descriptive word)
"Ah, man, that sucks!" (I'm not sure where he got sucks, but it's our not so good descriptive word)
Fortunately, Josh and I do not use profanity :o) so our kids will not be saying those words until they hear them from other kids (ugh). But we do have "not nice words" like shut up, stupid, etc. Sucks would be in there, too. LOL! I love when Caleb learns new words and phrases, but I'm with you, there are some not so nice ones that seem to creep in that I try to remind him not to say. That's when I realized I had to be more careful about the sitcoms I watch because I was watching Friends one day, and they say "Oh my God" ALL THE TIME. Caleb walked by and said it, and then he looked at me (like he knew it was wrong)! I told him we don't say that. Oh, parenting is so hard! :o)
Yes, Hunter got the "sucks" word from my girlfriend who has been here the last few days. We did the same thing - put that in the "doesn't sound nice" words...shut up, butt, dang it, gosh, etc.!
It's amazing what they learn from shows - Hunter loves The Suite Life of Zack and Cody...and they do have some hysterical phrases, but some of them don't sound very nice...the newest one..."What, you think I'm an idiot or something?!" LOL
Oh my, I was just reading through some of your posts and had to comment on this one! Ally just said "Man, it is freakin' cold outside!" YIKES, not something that I want coming out of my beautiful little girl's mouth. Glad to know I am not on my own though!
