So far this week Ivy has said, "Come her you little slut" to Cove. She said it like a mom talking to a baby. Then she said, "Cove, If you touch my papers again I will be so pissed off at you." So I said, "Ivy, don't say that it's bad to say piss." Then she responds, " Oh but Mom, I will be pissed off." Then she yelled dammit. I said, "Ivy that is a bad word and you know it. Don't say it again." Then she says, " It's okay Mom. I am just pretending to be a Mom." That's just some of the recent things she has said. I will not share the rest.
This is Curtis's prayer after Ivy's day or weeks of bad language. He said, " Please help us to not be so dumb and watch what we say around Ivy so she won't say bad things all the time and make us look stupid." Curtis says the best most blunt prayers. Some might disagree with his prayers but I love how blunt he is while praying. Another example of something Curtis would say in a prayer is, "Please help our foster kids make better choices so they will stop bugging the crap out of us." I love my family.
Oh my heck I am laughing so hard right now. Curtis cracks me up! I think it's awesome that he speaks what's on his mind when praying. It just means he is truly sincere.
ReplyDeleteAnd the whole Ivy thing....well lets just say I can totally understand. I remember when my kids started to repeat things they heard. It can be horribly embarrassing! Hang in there it will get easier. Love you too!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh Ivy... I can't believe she called Cove a slut! So funny and so bad. I think language is something all us sisters could work on especially when we are all together :)
ReplyDeleteThat is SO000 funny, thanks for sharing - you made my day. Ahhh, the joys of kids. I bet most of the parents at my work would be surprised/embarrassed at what their kids say to us!
ReplyDeleteThat is REALLY funny what Ivy says! Those prayers are pretty great too!
ReplyDeleteOh man! Gunnar picks up things here and there. I like to say crap a lot and we've caught him saying it. Thankfully he has not really picked up on the pissed or freaking that I say a ton too. Oh boy...the prayers are pretty great too. I had a good laugh with this post.
ReplyDeletehaha- oh man. Ivy sounds like a little handful! It's true kids just pick up on everything. I think it's okay to be blunt in prayers. It's sincere and we are supposed to feel like Heavenly Father is our friend. Great post!
