“We’re working on it”
While driving home from school with the girls the other day, another drive cut me off. I mumbled about it, and Avery piped up from the backseat, “He’s an a-hole” (though she used the whole word). Horrified, I quickly told Avery that we shouldn’t say that word and that if she heard Mommy say it before I was sorry – I shouldn’t have said it. Later, when I told Q the story (and Avery was out of earshot), I asked Zoe, “I don’t say that word that much, do I?” She shrugged and said, “Maybe once a week or every other.” “No way - I don’t say it that often!” I squealed. “It’s okay, Mommy,” Zoe comforted me. “We’re working on it.”
