An hour later my husband comes in to wake me and says "Your daughter learned a new word, I'm sorry" he says as hes trying not to bust up laughing and failing miserably.
That's when I heard it, the little voice from the other room says "Bullshit" really... then a few seconds later "bullshit" followed by a chorus of giggles. At this point I too am having a hard time not laughing. As little miss walks into the room she looks up at me and says "Mommy I learned a new word, bullshit" so I bit the inside of my lip really hard and tried so hard not to laugh.
"Honey that is a bad word, little girls don't say that word." I tell her, she turns around and looks at me thoughtfully then says... "Bullshit" at this point the inside of my lip is bleeding and my husband is snorting with laughter. I give him a glare that says. 'Knock it the fuck off before I beat you to a bloody pulp you arn't helping so leave the room' yeah cause my looks are just that damn good I can convey a message like that.
Why didn't I just laugh it off? Because laughter makes her think it's funny. Laughter makes her think it's okay to use that word. If she were 15 or 16 I probably wouldn't have a problem with it but a 2 year old should NOT swear. As I try to explain to the 2 year old that this is not okay to be saying that word, she keeps repeating it and giggling cause to her this shit is funny.
Finally I get the kid to stop saying it and we go about our day running around which I had not wanted to do since I felt like shit but had to do anyway. We get to my college, the husband is thinking of enrolling in classes but he has to do a whole bunch of shit so I was sitting with the kids in the main lobby... Well I was sitting they were running in different directions and wouldn't listen when I told their asses to sit down. Any way one of the campus cops comes up and starts talking to my 4 year old. This THRILLS my 4 year old to no end because he loves cops. My 2 year old walks up and smiles at the cop, this is different for her because she is usually very shy when meeting new people and hides behind me. She says "I learned a new word." and the cop says "Oh yeah and what word was that?" Without missing a beat my worst fears come out of her mouth as she says "Bullshit"
To his credit the campus cop didn't grin and I am thinking 'Don't you dare laugh' and he says to me (because I know him and have spoken to him on many occasions) "Huh she takes after her mom maybe she has a career in law enforcement"
This makes it hard for me not to laugh after learning from a cop in class that cops view everyone as "assholes" and everything as "bullshit" maybe the kid does have a career in law enforcement.
