I laughed out loud at this - and you have to picture that knowing that I’m sitting at my desk in an empty house, laughing LOUDLY all alone.

This post is perfect in every way.

Just discovered your blog. Love it! Purple toenails and a toe ring - you’re a rockstar mom! Seriously, I worry too because my language has deteriorated drastically since my daughter was born. I have created new cursewords that are the filthy combinations of two and three other really questionable words - it happens spontaneously. And it shocks the cr*p out of me whenever I hear “son of a long-overly-descriptive-obscene-phrase” come out of my mouth. I figure I’ll just tell my daughter what my mother told me: “those are grownup words, children are not allowed to use them” (…”especially not in front of their teachers”).

Here via a retweet! Loved this, especially since I too am of the foul-mouthed persuasion (and trying hard to curb the tendency).

“Well,” I say, giving up on the lesson because I figure I ought to save being a hypocrite for an occasion when I really need it, “I’ll try to do better.”

I may be a lone voice in the parenting wilderness, but I think this was a splendid response.

Ha ha! Love this story, Jennifer…my son’s favorite words lately are “idiot” and “jerk” though I’m working on it.

I think only good mothers are a “pain in the ask.” If your kids don’t tell you that (or something similar) at least once in a while, You are not doing it right.
Keep up the good work!

Well, I’ve always thought you were a pain in the ask. (hah!) But then again, “I love you, beautiful mama” has got to be one of the most beautiful things a daughter has ever said to a Mom.
