Ok, so I think I mentioned it before, my oldest brother is a Miami-Dade Police Officer. He called me last week to tell me this story about his 4yr old daughter Natasha. Let me set this up for you.
Gordie (that's my brother) and his family, wife Yami, Natasha and son Jake were going to the Miami Seaquarium. The kids had been given granola bars to snack on during the ride there. apparently Natasha likes to compete with her 1 yr old brother Jake and decided that whoever had eaten their bar the fastest was the winner.
I don't think Jake really cared or even knew that he was in a race. Natasha had finished her granola bar first and raised her hands in triumph!
"I win!" she yelled.
Yami: "Wow Natasha, how did you finish that so fast?" (wait for it.....)
Natasha : "I wasn't dickin around!"
Stunned silence and then the sound of Yami smacking my brother for saying these things around his daughter.
Needless to say, I nearly fell out of my chair laughing, becaus eI can't tell you how many times I've warned my brother that children are little sponges and will repeat things that you say in the most embarassing situations.
I don't think Gordie will really change the way he talks around his kids. He just can't help himself. No sooner did he tell me this story than he told me about another occasion.
Natasha was being sent to her room for something that she did. Her mom was not happy with her. As she stomped past Gordie, he heard her mumble under her breath.
"What a bunch of bullshit."
So, my friends the lesson today is, be careful what you say around the kids. It WILL come around and bite you in the behind us!
Peace ya'll!

That TOTALLY sounds like Gordon. I've caught Kenny saying "That's bullshit" a couple of times (compliments of thier father and the Madden football game). The "I wasn't dickin around" is priceless. I'm still laughing
