deadlightsgirl ...and why I need to rethink my policy of "if it's okay to say on the Simpsons it's okay to say in front of her." Good policy for working at Jekyll and Hyde. For a feisty almost-4-year-old, not so much.
She likes to pick out her own pyjamas. It seems the ones she wanted to wear were in the laundry, because they weren't in the drawer.
I say, "sorry Gracie, the rest must be in the laundry, you have to choose from what's here."
She paws through the drawer, of course making everything be unfolded and un-neat, then loudly and clearly states "GOD DAMMIT!" and stomps off down the stairs.
She even had the same intonation as me. Very surreal to hear yourself coming out of a child's mouth quite so clearly.
"Damn" will now be joining the list of words we don't say in front of Gracie...until she is old enough to learn discretion and comedic timing for her words. We already don't let her watch South Park...REALLY don't wanna curtail her Simpsons exposure too...
