WHAT did you say?

The other day, Katie was fiddling with something and it wasn't doing what she wanted. She let loose with the "F" word. It was kinda like that scene in "A Christmas Story" - she said it, everything went to slow-mo, and she looked at me like "ooooo I'm in for it now." I didn't make a big deal of it, just reminded her that we don't use that word in our house, and then we had fun making up words to use instead like "oh pickle pants!" or "oh bouncy boogers".

The next day we were in Target - basically just to get out of the house, and I remembered something I'd forgotten to get in the other section. I said "We need to go back to , dagnabbit!"

Her face was one of horror. "MOMMY. You said a BAD WORD." Now I froze - "what on earth did I say?" She whispered "dagnabbit - it's a bad word mommy". I grinned, "no honey, I think it's ok to say that word. "

She gave me a look and said in a low voice, "only if nobody else is around."

Ok, so it was funny. But still ;)
