Scene: JoAnn Fabrics. I am making invitations and needed decorative paper.

Grant: Look at all of these papers! What are these papers for?
Me: They’re scrapbook papers. People use them to make scrapbooks, but I use them to make cards.
Grant: Mom, you said a bad word.
Me: (reviewing everything I had just said) No, I didn’t. I didn’t say a bad word.
Grant: Yes you did!
Me: What did I say?
Grant: (pointing at the selection of papers) You said…

My mind is on total over-load, trying to figure out what the heck this kid is talking about. Then it dawned on me….

“No Grant, that’s SCRAPbook paper…”

    How funny! My boys have done that to me when I said something was stupid. I had to explain that I wasn’t calling anyone that.

    That’s too funny! Like “jenjen”, my kids have referred to the craft store as “the crap store”. That led to a discussion about appropriate language for a 3 year old! Nice to see I’m not alone when it comes to that!
