Lindsay-isms

March 2008
I'm not a perfect mom and I've never claimed to be. I've slipped a few (and by few, I mean a lot) times and said some not very good words in front of our kids. About a year ago Lindsay tried one out in front of Dan and I and we told her that wasn't a good word and that was the last we'd heard her say it. Well this past week, she's tried it out again twice (that I know of). Once was at my mom's house in front of Jenny and the other was last night while we were watching "Peewee's Big Adventure." For those of you who have seen it, it was at the part when Peewee is in the car with the escaped convict and a truck with his bike on it drives right past them and Peewee doesn't see it. Well that frusterated Lindsay, but if he saw his bike then that would be the end of the movie so of course the truck goes one way and Peewee goes the other. Lindsay started yelling at the tv, "Peewee look over! There's your damn bike!" I tried so hard not to smile and laugh. Then I said, "Lindsay, that's not a very good word to say. Mommy is trying to not say it too. So let's both try not to say it ok?" I couldn't really get mad at her, since I'm the one to blame, or maybe we'll blame it on her dad!

Yesterday, Lindsay was having a grumpy day and got mad at me. She yelled, "I'm just so mad at you and you're making me so frusterated!!!!!!"
