She said what?!?
by Mama Bee 
Shes supposed to be prim and proper all the time. My husband wouldn't expect anything less from his baby girl. His pride and joy. His baby. But with me as a mother, that isn't always possible. This morning after a fight with her older brother about Elmo (I know, the worries of a child) she was in a less than pleasurable mood. He was teasing her about Elmo being her boyfriend. She was telling him he had no friends. They both hurt eachothers feelings and by the end he had pinched her so she tackled him, pinched him and then called him a girl when he was crying. What? She's growing up with 2 older brothers.
Now, after breaking up this battle she was upset and wanted to call her daddy.
I called him at work so she could talk to him.
"Daddy?"
"Hi, honey."
"J is pissing me off," my mouth dropped. Did she just....
"huh?!" I was waiting for him to tell her to put me on the phone.
"J is pissing me off."
"What did you say?" Here it comes....
"J! IS! PISSING! ME! OFF! DAD!"
"Let me talk to mommy, sweetheart."
"Hello?"
"Did she just say J is pissing me off?"
"Um. Yes?" I always get in trouble for not correcting her and just laughing and I knew this time wasn't going to be any different.
"Baby. Seriously? Can you not laugh. She doesn't need to be talking like that."
"I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS GOING TO SAY IT, I PROMISE!" I'm laughing because hearing my 2 year old say that in the correct context was hilarious and unexpected.
"I know but now that she did, don't encourage it. She shouldn't be saying stuff like that."
It was just so funny. She's so innocent and her big blue eyes and scowl at her brother just cracked me up. I wasn't expecting it.
Do you find yourself getting in trouble by your SO for laughing at something your kids have done or said? What are some things they have said that you've just found yourself giggling at even though you shouldn't be?

- About Me: Hi, I'm Mama Bee. I'm from Colorado and I've lived here my entire life. I'm happily married to the most amazing guy and have been for going on 3 years. I am a stay at home mom with 2 step sons that live with my husband and I full time. C is 6 and J is 5. My husband, Daddy Bee, and I have a daughter together. K is 15 months and is a miracle baby. I would like to have another baby but due to some health issues I've been told I may not be able to. I believe that is why God gave me my daughter and our boys. My family has and will always come first. Marriage and motherhood are hard, but the most rewarding things I've ever been able to experience in my life. We have our ups and downs, we're not perfect but we try, we live, and we learn. We laugh when things get hard and we are thankful when things are easy. With 3 kids our life never seems boring. I look forward to sharing my family with you!

My 3 year old and my 7year old was play fighting and i guess my oldest kicked my 3 year old in her butt lightly and my 3 year old came to me and said mommy ma (thats what she called her sister, her sisters name is michelle) kicked my ass, i said what? (while giggling) and she repeated herself. so i called my husband and put her on the fone and i said tell daddy what ma did, and she repeated herself and we both laughed. I know its not funny to others but i mean come on a 3 year old saying that its too cute and innocent and funny. its not like they know what they are saying or what it means so thats why i dont get mad. but after i just told her that she sholdnt say that and i havent heard it come out of her mouth sense so thats all good. I been thru this with my oldest child when she was three as well. i laughed but still corrected her. i dont feel i should yell at them but correct them and if they say it again thats a diffrent story. but i agree with your husband, even tho its funny you should correct them because when they grow up cursing at you it wont be funny anymore and then your going to wish u did say something to them when you had the chance to correct it.
my cousin was a year old and at the point we went out to eat with him and the whole family. He wanted a lemon from my ice tea, which my grandmother said "take out the seeds and give it to him see what he does" so we did. Well, Lets say he didn't like it so much and at one threw the lemon, and it landed on someone plate across the dinning room, we laughed but my uncle was mad. So I think at that young age you can laugh the first time but you need to tell them its wrong from that time on.
Hahahaha. Oh my gosh. That's just so funny. Looks like your little girl is going to grow up being real tough. Calling her brother a girl for crying. Hahaha. Nice come back. Sadly, I don't have kids. Well that's because I'm still 19. But I do plan on having one soon. & the laughing at the first time and correcting them is the best way. I don't think yelling will help much. Your girl is too funny.
omgosh that's hilarious!!
the line " I always get in trouble for not correcting her and just laughing and I knew this time wasn't going to be any different." really makes me sad.
our 22 month old says shoe and it sometimes sounds like shit.. yes we giggle, and then correct him. But they are innocent children who only know that whatever they just said got them this huge reaction so they are going to say it again.
If your SO is going to chastise you as if you are a child, then he needs an attitude adjustment. I hope he does not speak to you like that in front of the children.
I just moved back home with my kids. I have 4 younger brothers and a 5yrold boy and 5 month old daughter. Apparently all my brothers have adapted a "potty mouth". While ive been getting after my brothers and my son for some of the things he has said last night took the cake. My son came up to me and told me, I told matthew to give me my damn sword back.
This was funny cause he told on himself and looked so sad that he said it. So i had to scold him then laugh when he walked away cause he is at the age if i laugh in frount of him he will think its okay.
I'm a preschool teacher and currently a nanny of a 4 year old. 3 and 4 year olds are always testing the waters. In other words, they will say anything to get a reaction, and if you aren't correcting them, and in fact are laughing at them, you are encouraging the behavior to continue. It's not a serious problem yet but it can become one if it continues to preschool and elementary school, where there are consequences. It probably is funny and if you need to laugh, turn your head and hide it the best you can.
My sister's friend babysits a lot and comes back with stories of things the children say that they learned from their parents. One little boy got really angry with his siblings and said, "Has ANYONE seen my DIGNITY?"
Can you imagine the conversation he overheard?
there was this little girl that was 3 years old...and the daughter of an Air Force Chaplain...
she was doing something at home, and she dropped something on the floor and said, "Crap!"
her parents didn't like that she used that word, so they said, "Honey, that's not a nice word."
The 3 year old said, "S***?" (asking whether that was the right word)
they couldn't help but laugh...
I try my hardest to not curse in front of my young nieces but it becomes difficult when I accidentally slam my hand in the door or bang my foot into the bed. I usually cover it up with a, "SON OF A BLARGHFISH!" or "MOTHER FUGGLES!" But, once, someone locked me and my niece (she's 2 1/2 years old) outside of the house and when I tried going in, I said, "What the hell?" I gasped and turned around, forgetting that she was there. She looked up at me, then the door, then repeated, "What the hell?" I was so mortified. I confessed to her mom about what she said but she told me a similar story...
Once, her mom was driving and there was a horrible driver in front of her. Out of habit, the mother said, "What the--." She stopped herself before she said the last word, but in the backseat, she heard her daughter finish her phrase. Imagine hearing a little voice saying, "What the hell!"? I couldn't help but laugh when her mother told me the story.
my brother flipped my dad off while asking him what it means....
this just happened last week....i met my husband for lunch at a restaurant with our two sons (ages 7 and 4). After we were done eating, my husband took our oldest son in his truck to home depot, and left me with our youngest son to take in my car to go back home. it was 103 degrees outside, and my car doesn't have air conditioning (i know, an atrocity!!). I strapped my son into is car seat and climbed into the front seat, turned the car on, rolled down the windows, and was just pulling out of the parking space when my son says "mom? i'm sweating my balls off. are you sweating your vagina off?" i about peed my pants.
