Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah Blah blah-di Blah blah-blah…..!!
The sounds of the kid’s babble at 6.00pm sounds like the above, a symphony of abrasive taunts to my ears, and I ignore it successfully – usually.
Adam: Are you listening to them?
Karen: I listen to this all day. Can’t I tune out now and then?
Adam: LISTEN.
So I do, and the blah-blah’s turn into this:
“Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! Bugger!”
Adam: You’re the only one who says that around here.
Ah…Yes. Thanks children. Rat out the ole’ ma.

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
That is too funny though.
Hmm why is it always our fault? Still at least you owned up, and for you penance……….

Too funny!
I am always getting into trouble from His Highness about my vocabulary. Think it might have something to do with the fact that I’m the one dealing with the kids most of the time?…
(Once when #1 was about 18months – 2yrs old, she was riding her little plastic car around the house.. took herself into a dead end in the laundry, and then went “Shit. Shit. Shit.”… That day we’d been out shopping, and I vaguely remember cursing as I looked for a car park…. OOPS. )
hehe – could have been much worse!
See, over here, “bugger” is completely innocuous. In fact, I think it’s great. Unfortunately, shit is not. The first couple of times Mary Margaret said it, we told her not to because it’s an ugly word. So now she is fond of telling us, “Don’t say that Mommy, it’s an ugly word,” for a variety of things. Yesterday she told me that “because” is an ugly word.
I think it’s our diminishing brain cells from being with them all day.
