1-2-3 Repeater

My husband is picking on me because I said "Oh Phooey!" What in the world does he want me to yell out him when our kids are in the next room watching Shrek? Especially when we have "repeater" children. In fact, last week, we were cruising the town in our mini-van with The Wiggles blaring, when our daughter yells out "CRAP!" from the back seat.

And let's not forget the time when our oldest son was two and he was trying to climb up on the sofa and couldn't quite get there. "Oh F***!" Not that that would have been my fault, any means, since I was a single mom at the time. (There, DH, I'm not saying it's your fault.)

Which brings us back to our daughter, again. Hubby was playing a wicked game of NCAA Football on the X-Box and have a bit of trouble with the computer "cheating," as he calls it. "That's bullsh**!" A few minutes later, DH gets upset again at the game (hey...no wet willies while you're reading over my shoulder!!!). DD, in her sweetest voice pipes, "More bullsh**, Daddy?"

So, yes, I watch my language now, and you'll hear an occasionally "phooey" and "drat" and "gaaaaaaaaargggggggg."

My little angel niece would never say such naughty things. She is adorable and sweet.
Your nephew however...
he doesn't say too many intelligible things but when my husband and I started getting loud while teasing eachother on a drive to my dad's house, our little guy started shoutingin the backseat. He wasn't just yelling, he was shouting baby words and shaking his head at us. When I asked him what he was doing he started making funny noises and moving his head like his dad does when he mocks me. Whenever I stopped talking he stopped making the noises and shaking his head, whenever I started talking he started doing it again.

And as for your DH, I remember him telling me not to say "God" which I shouldn't have, not in the context I used it and not in the company present at the time but I think some pots shouldn't call kettles black, or purple or green.
