Mommy Mouth

Do you other mothers find yourself embarrassed as your vocabulary dwindles or regresses? After facing the screaming, hair-tugging, teeth-gnashing experience that is grocery shopping, my cashier noted that one of my coupons was expired. To express my disappointment, I thought "bummer" and said, "Bottom." A quick glance assured me that she hadn't heard me or didn't care, so I shook my head at myself, handed out fresh bags of Dora fruit snacks to my girls, and headed out of there.

I will try to include less potty talk in future posts - it's just what my life is so full of right now.

In other news . . . I hope you had a lovely Memorial Day weekend! We did, and completed our yearly Bear Lake Raspberry Shake Test! Was good fun, and yes, we are fatter.

Bah hah! I think that will be my new cuss word. All I've been able to come up with lately is "rats."

How funny! :) Even if she heard it, she probably thought it was a lot cleaner than some other words that come out of people's mouths! :)

You're such a nut! I just want Isaac to way words, he can say all the potty word he wants, just as long as he talks! I'll be hopping over to raspberry shake land now.

You are hilarious! I know what you mean though. I used to be somewhat eloquent---heck I could even speak fairly decent Lithuanian! Now I have to bone up by watching Word Girl on PBS rather than Dragon Tales.:

P.S. Does anyone from the mish have a blog that I should know about?
