I swear. Not alot, but sometimes it will slip out. Other times it adds a degree of passion and funniness to my story. I don't see anything wrong with it. Well I didn't. But now my daughter occasionally blurts out "sh!t" if she drops something and while my first reaction is to grin (then work very hard to hide it) my main reaction is to be mortified that I may have said this word far too many times and now my daughter sees it as an acceptable word to throw out there whenever she feels necessary.
The straw that broke the camels back was when my daughter used the word, far too rightly in a sentence the other day.
Upon dropping something that broke in the fall, she announces to her dad and I "Is that sh!t or what".
I grinned - how could my daughter be so clever as to use this word in a sentence that was more suited to an 18 year old mouth and not that of a 2 year old. My husband gasped and stared in astonishment at me.
Before my daughter could catch my grin and my husbands look of amusement, we stupidly asked "what did you just say?" to which foul mouthed 2 year old replies "I said sh!t" in her proud yet very innocent voice.
Daddy took the reigns on this one and stared very seriously into 2 year old's eyes and said calmly and sternly "that word is very rude. If you have heard someone say it, they were being rude and you are not to use that word again" to which 2 year old with too much courage replied "you're a sh!t dad"!
She's still on the naughty step accepting regular refreshments......
