“What the hell is that?”
December 28th, 2007 by SarahWhen I was growing up very little that was seen in movies or television was censored in my house. We watched scary movies, rowdy movies, and sometimes crude humor. Meanwhile hubby grew up in an almost opposite environment where certain shows were completely off limits and ratings were relevant. Somehow we both ended up with bad language that periodically peaks up. Now, to my point.
Tonight while watching tv our almost three year old out of nowhere exclaims “what the hell is that?” Try as we did not to laugh, it was difficult. After explaining that she shouldn’t say that and trying not to make a big deal out of it, (lest she add it to her permanent vocabulary) I began to wonder which one of us let this phrase out of the box. I suppose it isn’t really relevant where it came from, it just reminds me to add “watch your language” to the long list of resolutions I hope to keep in 2008 (topped only by losing weight). I wonder if this year I will actually stick to the list…hmmm, only time will tell.

As usual, you say it better than I could! LOL
I am sure I am the culprit. Note to self: Watch mouth at all times around 3 year olds.

That’s funny! My kids have all muttered something similar (ok, worse than that!) and I HAVE noooooo idea at all where they would hear something like that. :) Has to be the TV, right?

Jessica: Oh how I wish we could pin this one on tv. This lil’ one demands to watch Sprout day in and day out though and I reckon she isn’t getting it from there, lol.

That is hilarious! The gremlins argue amongst themselves whether or not they’re allowed to say “crud” and “freakin’” and how their cousin isn’t allowed to say dang it.

Too funny! Did you read on GWJ about “Holy What?” I’m better at it than my husband is.
