After school yesterday I was saying to Thing 1 that something was really cool (can't remember what it was, wouldn't you know), and she corrected me. She cried out with some serious expression (Drama Queen), "Not cool Mom, it's freakin' AWESOME!" She's se-VEN. I cringed when she said it, and I told her that I didn't want her talking like that. Seriously, she's not even a teenager yet, at least that would be understandable as they aim to shock others while unknowingly embarrassing themselves.
Of course I asked her where she had heard that sort of verbiage. I totally expected her to say from school, but instead she said from the movie Night at the Museum. I tell you, I cannot win, first it's cow tipping, and now this. I haven't told you about the cow tipping incident, I'll have to save that for another time.
Kids say the darnest things.
