The following story is rated PG-13 due to language content. I have edited some words, but feel I should warn certain individuals (i.e. Grandma and Nana).
Lately, especially as Kaitlyn is approaching two years old (July 26th), she is beginning to imitate what others say. Sometimes Katy's pronunciation of a word is not all together accurate and she will say different words when she means something else. I have two examples that I would like to share that neither Jared nor myself are proud of, but we do find slightly hilarious after the fact.
Several weeks ago we were at a steak house eating dinner (mind you neither of us ordered steak, because unfortunately it was not my birthday or our anniversary). Anyway, Jared ordered a strawberry lemonade and Kaitlyn was fiercely eyeing it. She would reach her hands out across the table and whine until we gave her some. We would then ask her "do you want a sip"? This was a mistake, because apparently her pronunciation of "sip" is "sh*t". She didn't just say "sh*t" she shouted "sh*t" over and over again! We decided to finish dinner quickly as we were getting weird looks from nearby tables.
The second story I would like to share takes place in the car. For some reason every time we were in the car Kaitlyn would say the word "f***" over and over again. Jared and I were horrified when we heard this, because this is a horrible vulgar word and we never use it even when experiencing road rage in the car. Anyway, after telling Katy "no" every time she said this word in the car we started to think that maybe a kid at daycare had taught her this word (if your child attends daycare it's easy to blame any bad habits on the school). So the next day I asked her teachers if there were any children that use bad words in the class and proceeded to tell them that Katy would always say this bad word in the car. One of her teachers started laughing, because apparently there is a child in the class who cannot pronounce her "T's" and when they play with the cars and trucks she calls a truck "a f***". They have been working with this child to correct this word, however, Katy seemed to have picked it up. So the reason she was always saying "f***" in the car is because she would see a truck and wanted to tell us. Who would have thought!
Hope you got a laugh out of this. We have since correctly taught Katy how to say both "sip" and "truck"!
