So this morning when the little ones and I were cleaning up the breakfast dishes, Lanie came in and asked if she could help. Sure thing, I love helpers. She put away all the silverware for me and then she decided she needed to organize the silverware drawer. After working really hard on it for about ten minutes she asked me to put the drawer away for her. When I went to pick up the drawer I bumped it a little bit and the forks kind of spilled out of their little slot (WARNING, colorful language to follow). When this happened, she said, oh sh**! Me, not knowing if I heard her correctly asked her what she just said, and she repeated the for mentioned word, but a little under her breath this time so I couldn't quite hear her, so I asked her again what she had just said. With a look on her face like she must have said something wrong, she gives a little sigh and a giggle and said, oh, I meant to say damn sh**!
WHAT?!

POTTY MOUTH!!
I have no idea where my sweet and innocent child could have heard this word. I promise I do NOT say this word in front of my children, I do admit that I have said it before though, (Tina, is my primary calling in jeopardy for admitting that?) and I do not let her play with that Kristen Perry character, she is a potty mouth that says that word in front of her home teacher!
What is a mother to do?

You have the best stories, that totally made my day!
At least it wasn't as bad as my friend whose son swore and she said "Where did you hear that word!" and he said "You said it mom!"
Oh my, I'd die!
Where in the world do they pick up those things so young?
Can't wait for my turn, it's coming!
What the H*** are you teaching your kids.....rebel mother!!!haha
That's too funny! One of Mason's first words was 'crap', but other four-letter words have been heard from little mouths around our house as well, and I PROMISE that we don't use any of them (besides crap :). I blame my TV, my kids will randomly pull out lines from a tv show or movie, I'm sure they retain random choice words as well :) We just love them all the more for it! More shocking than her language is the fact that she voluntarily organized the silverware drawer!
I love the picture. I guess you can find comfort in the fact that she didn't say THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words.
That is hilarious. Did you try not to laugh? She is a cutie girl! :-) no, you are stuck in your calling :-)...you are my example!
oh, dear lanie.
what are you going to do with that girl, stacy?
Too funny! My kids have all gone through the cussing stage...some worse than others. We lived in the LDS Business College dorms as dorm parents when Nate was 2-5. He REALLY learned a lot of interesting uses for certain phrases and terms. We still tease Brian's little bro (on his mission) that he is a libian aka lebonese...you know what I'm sayin!
Poor Nate forgot the incident altogether,but we can't let it die! I love that you blogged it so she can ALWAYS be haunted!
Anyways, what the ^&#*, &*%#, @$!& is wrong with the way your family talks?
Tell Xandi that I think 2:30 is outrageous! And I heard a funny story about him from Audrey Barton yesterday...something about his bunns and car trouble!!!! HEEHEE!
This is exactly why I don't teach the (_it) word family AFTER I've taught the digraph /sh/ and why I NEVER teach the uck or ick word family. (blush, blush)
That is too funny. I remember discovering which words were not appropriate much the same way, right after calling my brother a b*st*rd (only the 'a's are bad).
Sorry, Staci. I promise I never swear, but your sweet little girl must have great hearing. I mumbled (at even less than whisper volume) that word trying to get the law mower started for 40 minutes yesterday and I was SO mad!! It never did start by the way. I said sorry lots of times, even though I THOUGHT no one heard me. Apparently there was a victim. Can you ever forgive me??
Sorry again. I meant StacY. :)
That's some funny you know what!
Well my mom's advice was if it's in the Bible it's ok to say. Is sh.. in the bible??
Wow! That is so funny....but yet not. I cna't help but laugh. She is a little character.
SUUUUURE, you don't say that word! No, I'm kidding. That's hilarious! When I started reading I thought "Wow! A child who comes in and asks to help? how perfect is that?" then I busted up to read you have a perfect, angel potty mouth. I have one too! I'm sure it's that Kristen Perry chick! I've heard she has quite a mouth :) I would have a talk with her about that!
You are hilarious. You make me laugh so hard. I was totally reading your post and thought oh I've been there and then all of the sudden you throw me under the bus!! Have you know it was the high councilman over camp and our favorite babysitters father--way worse than home teacher. Anyway I am totally kidding. Thanks for the shout out. I'm glad I was blog worthy on your blog even if it was for my bad example, I've repented and moved on, you should too. Very thick on the sarcasm in case you can't pick up the tone. Love you girl. Your dear Lanie just might be the cutest thing even if she does cuss like a sailor.
Oh my gosh!! That is too funny...I think it's Gavin teaching her those words ;] What do you think? Just kidding, I know Gavin would never do that. That is hilarious!!
I know where she got it from. Mother like daughter. Such cute girls both of you. You still make me laugh even when we aren't together. Keep up the good work.""""I never knew you were such a writer""""lol See ya Thurs.
PRICELESS. I can't wait to have my own little potty mouth someday... And he'll never be allowed to go to the Schmalz home!! But don't worry, I'm sure Jesus still wants Lanie for a sunbeam. Glad to know you really ARE human! :)
