...from your child's vocabulary?
Is there a certain word or phrase that your child is using lately that drives you up a wall?
I think Brenna got it from a cartoon, but there are times that I'll ask (or tell) her to do something and she'll cross her arms over her chest and with a sneer on her face say "Never!". I would love to "never!" here that from her again.
With Zach it isn't so much the word, but the way he uses it. It's "momma". I don't mind being called "Momma" but when I hear it screamed across the house 50 times a day, it makes me want to scream. It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing ... It's "MOM-a" yelled over and over until I respond.
Haley over uses tons of words ... "stupid", "like", "Oh my God", and "Um" are some of the most irritating. The worst of it is that she can't get to a point. When she asks me something I have to sit through 10 mins of ...
"Oh my God, Um mom, *pause* Do you remember that stupid guy I told you about who, like, said that my hair was ugly?" "Well, um, like, I ran into him again today when I was walking home from school and Oh my God he is so mean *pause* but um, he said that he saw Dallas at the library. *pause* And that reminded me and I was like wondering if um ... "Do you have to work tomorrow?" Ok, cuz, um, me and Dallas have this project we're working on for science class ... well Cassandra is supposed to too but I already know she can't ... but, um, I wanted to know if tomorrow I could like go to the library if um, I promise to be home by *pause* What time does Zach's bus come?"
