What’d You Say?

Ok, so remember how I was talking about boys and their gibberish the other day? Well, I have an even better one for you. Wednesday morning, my little boy and I came downstairs to have breakfast. When we were done eating, I went to sit on my big leather chair in our family room with a cup of coffee while I assumed little boy would start playing, as usual. Instead, he tells me to move so he can line up his cars. I said, “sorry sweetheart, mommy is sitting here, you can line your cars up somewhere else”. Now with complete and utter seriousness and innocence, he says to me, “no, I want to line my cars up on the f@$king chair”.

Ummmmmmmm WHAT?!?!?! My jaw dropped. I almost died. I had to keep my cool (and a straight face). I said, “what did you just say?” to which he replied “I want to line my cars up on the f@$king chair”. Oh, ok. That’s what I thought.

me: “So umm, where did you hear that word?”
boy: “Ahh, on Monday”
me: “Where?”
boy: “On Monday”
me: “But who said that?”

SILENCE

me: “Ohhhhhh, you mean the LEATHER chair! Yeah, this is the leather chair. I don’t know what that other silly word was, but let’s not say it again, ok?”
boy: “oh, ok. The LETTER chair”
me: “yeah”

So then I proceeded to teach him about different fabrics and textures……..the leather chair, the canvas basket, the wool area rug, his cotton jammies……

Haven’t heard it again since……and crossing my fingers that I don’t hear it again any time soon.
