Driving in the car last night, with Conner and Grant in the back seat…. Conner and I were having a discussion and I needed to say the word “sex” which I decided to spell, since I did not want Grant to hear the word.
Big mistake.
“What’s S – E – X?”
Smooth move, Ex-Lax. Now the child will add that to the list of words he spells for people.
(I can spell S-T-O-P. I can spell C-A-T… F-O-X….) oy. You see where I’m going with this, right?
I am an idiot.
Jennifer says
HA! He showed you. I remember my mom doing that once and I knew what she was spelling. Still remember the D’oh expression on her face.
& yes that was a D’oh as in Homer Simpson D’oh.
J.J. says
Maybe he will take that to school…and ask his teacher and she can tell him about s-e-x ?
hee hee
Believe me…you are no idiot!
J.J. says
I love your signature too!!!
Lynn says
ex-say
Ali says
Haha! But you had good intentions. That oughta count for something?
Housewife Savant says
That K-I-D is K-W-I-K.
Trying to outsmart him with spelling was D-U-M Vivienne.
Tammy Howard says
You’re not an idiot.
And you’re not raising one, either.
Lauren says
oh, no! I dread the day my children learn to spell!
Xazmin says
At least you spelled it…I’m always forgetting myself and saying “sex” in front of my kids…sometimes I think I am the worst mom ever!
valentine says
i am srsly dreading when i have kids, i say so much bad stuff, i will have a hard time breaking the habit
your kid is so smart!
drollgirl says
oh god!!! a c k!!!
my sis has a 4 year old that asked HOW DID I GET IN YOUR TUMMY. my sis said, “well, you used to be really small like a seed, and then you grew and grew.” for some reason this satisfied her daughter. for now. ugh!!!
Keetha Broyles says
Well, if you’re going to give him an embarrassing word to spell, why not pick a long one – – – that way, maybe the people to whom he spells it won’t figure it out until AFTER he’s walked away.
You know – – – like – – – C – 0 – P – U – L – A – T – I – O – N
Becca @ The Texas Darlings says
I hated when I couldn’t spell words out anymore…..

I think the big question is…. what in the heck were you and Connor talking about?! 🙂
♥ Kenz ♥ says
Hahahaha, very funny..
HaB says
I think this falls under the same category as the first time your child utters a swear word, at a major holiday dinner.
Jessica says
That is hilarious! I know it, we have to watch what we spell around Jackson now!!
MiMi says
I can’t spell anything in front of Kolby either. I love your signature!

Jen says
Oh dear 🙂 good luck with that! Love the signature!
Kasey says
That is F-U-N-N-Y!!! At least he has an interest in spelling! He has a bright future that one!
Amber says
Lol, that is pretty funny. I can’t spell things around Maddison. She’s a genius speller. I have to use code words or say “you know what I mean” and give him ‘the eye’. lol
Morgan says
Awww..haha. Well, at least you can tell him the story when he gets older and he can tell all of his friends. 🙂

That’s funny ….. I never had the ‘repeating’ problem with my daughter, but my son?? OH HE REPEATS everything ….. seriously, he called my pastor’s daughter a dumba$$ once …. no lie.
In my head I’m thinking “Well, was she being one?” but in my REALITY, I’m thinking “CRAP – MUST NOT BE SO DEFENSIVE IN MY DRIVING!!!” ….
