Normally, I am very much in control of foul language. Now do you see where it's going?
A couple of days ago, I was attempting to assemble Ruby's massive contraption of a kennel. She had snagged some food off the kitchen counter while we were out (again!) and I'd had enough. I was going to show her who was boss and banish her to her kennel every time we left the house from that point on. In a huff, I dragged the 80 pound metal monstrosity out into the family room and began trying to undo the 15,000 clasps holding it in it's "compact" 4 foot storage size. The boys were very intrigued by all of the action and were hovering right by my side as I struggled in vain to accomplish my task.
After several minutes and zero progress, I finally managed to get one clasp unhooked. Unfortunately, it took half of my fingernail with it. Before I could stop myself, "Sh**!" escaped my lips.
And Michael, right on cue, shouted "SH**!!!"
Sigh. Another glorious triumph for the Mother of the Year. Needless to say, I will be watching myself very, very carefully from here on out.

That's always the worst!! It's funny how even our most innocent-sounding "Sentence Enhancers" sound out of the mouth of babes. Have you ever heard a three-year old use "freaking" in a sentence? It suddenly sounds very dirty. Why don't they ever latch onto the innocuous words we say, like noodles, or jump?!
Heeeheeee!
The other day, I told Ed he was in trouble. From the back seat I heard:
"Oh, no! Papa trouble!"
Eek!
Can you hear me laughing???? That is some funny SH@#!!! ;-)
