2. We thought we had eradicated the unfortunate bringing out of the word "sh*t" at oddly appropriate times. The word made a reappearance this month.
Ana: Sh*t3. Don't push the button on those singing/dancing electronic doll-thingies. Just don't do it. Mommy tried to distract Ana with a Santa doll who was dressed in a Steelers jersey. She should have known right there - Steelers jersey is a dead giveaway.
Mommy: Ana, don't say that word. It's yucky. Even Mommies and Daddies don't say it. (lies! lies!)
Ana: Sh*t
Mommy: Ana, don't say that word or we will go home.
Ana: (puppy dog eyes) I'm sad.
Mommy: Why are you sad?
Ana: Because I want to say that word.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! Since you've been so good this year, Santa will give you a big surprise!" (turns around and drops his drawers)
We swear the kid did a knee slap.
4. Way to get a bit of ice cream from your daughter who is sharing-challenged: Ana! Look! Is that Cinderella over there? (point behind her back, steal ice cream when she turns). Oh no, guess I was wrong. Bummer.
