Bricks and Such
I’ve been working on a post for a few days now that’s still not finished. I can’t seem to find 5 minutes to rub together to spend at my computer this summer. When I do find a few precious moments I can’t find the motivation to do what I wanted! At any rate, shorts and funnies are fast and easy and I have another great one today. My son is the culprit again.
A few days ago we were walking out of the movie theater. As we approach the car my son pipes up and says, “Son of a brick” which brought an onslaught of laughter from mom on the drive home. Great parenting hugh?
I remember when my daughter was his age and also very susceptible to words and influences. The one I remember her sharing was the day she asked us if “bull-uh-sh**” was a bad word. I couldn’t even answer.
I’m not sure why it’s so funny but there’s just something about your little ones sharing what they hear in cuss words that’s down right hilarious. Bricks and stones may break my bones (just ask my brother who recently lost a match with a boulder) but mispronounced swear words will slay me! Bwa-ha-ha.

That is so funny - I’d be laughing too.
Glad someone else thought it was funny too!

“Son of a brick”
I LOVE IT!!
My dad used to say “son of a biscuit eater”
My dad had too many to innumerate! LOL

My oldest daughter ratted me out last week. Apparently she was getting in my husband’s car and she yelled out “Jesus!” because the sesat was hot. He asked her where she’d heard that and she piped up, “Mommy!”
I kind of like “son of a brick.” That may be my new safe expression! (until the girls repeat it)
They’re like little sponges soaking up everything they hear.

Guilty! I know being a military brat, a veteran, and a military wife is no excuse for ‘language difficulties’, however, I am guilty of releasing a few in the heat of the moment - hoping (as an afterthought) that my daughter’s headphones and music (ever attached to her head these days) were on tight and the volume high. It seems I watched it more when she was little….and I certainly have heard some funny ‘revisions’ along the way…..’son of a brick’ brings back memories
Good luck with your post. I need to work on one also, but I am so spur of the moment these summer days…catching the computer time when I can
Glad to know I’m not alone!

Holly this is just hilarious! My kids have yet to do something like this BUT, I am sure that as they age it is just around the corner…I hope I can laugh like you did and not crindge…after all they are just kiddos! TFS!
Nothing humbles you or entertains you as much as your own kids.

I have to admit, I think it’s funny when they pronounce the words correctly too. But only around the house and when they are clueless as to what the words mean. I would be very upset if they said them in public. Luckily, my wife and I don’t use those words either.
I guess just recognizing it is a good sign then hugh? I doubt families with constant potty mouths pick up on it much or care.
