Mind your peas and q's.
I knew there would be a time in my life that I would have to watch what I say out loud.I don't mean your general "mind-your-manners" kind of thing - no swearing before midday, being politically correct and making sure you don't say "bugger " too loudly when someone else gets the last chocolate Royal in the pack - I mean the watching what you say because you have a four and a half year old that seems to have the biggest ears in all of Melbourne.
Last week I caught her in her bedroom with her little toy baby doll ( no big deal) except that she had tied the doll to a chair using a shoelace and was pointing her finger at it saying "....you are being a little hoochie......"
Uh -Oh !!!!!!!!!
Note to self : Stop using word "hoochi" or abbreviated term "hooch"
As she goes on with her day, if something takes her by surprise I hear her say " What the hheeeellll???...."
I better start really watching what I say.
I'm sure there is already some irreversible damage - I will pretend that I didn't hear her say "nnnuuuppp" when she should be saying no and just politely repeat the question. I will pretend that when she mutters "bugger" she really said "Oh no what happened here?" in a syrupy tone.I really will have to watch what I say,because big ears are always listening!

And dont forget to stop calling people skanks, although thats what all her barbies are so atleast she'll find that out early...
Don't give up on hoochies or skanks - they are very good words! I hope she's spreading their use at kinder.
When your favourite nags come back at you it's slightly mortifying ... I cracked up when I heard my 5yo shouting at his little brother "How many times do I have to tell you?!?!"
However, when he was 2 I distinctly heard him say "futting sate". (Toddler translation of FFS)
That's when I cleaned up my mouth.
Ahh violet, she is a great source of entertainment. I guess your lucky she doesn't see me too often, I have been known to "teach" simon's niece those very same words, I especially like hoochie mama. I also like to try and teach her too dance like some sort of tramp and behave like a bogan. But I mostly do those things to piss off her parents, so maybe I wouldn't do that to you.
what the hell is wrong with hoochie?!! ya skank you! oh bugger I've done it now!!
This post was hilarious! Thank you for giving me a much needed giggle.
