My daughter Natalie writes Na or Nat on her school papers.
My son Tommy refuses to use a capital T. So he spells his name tommy.
And now..
NOW…
Well.
Look.
Yes.
Natalie wrote the word DAMN.
I knew my road rage would catch up to me some day….
When I saw the word in her school papers I asked what she was spelling.
“Letters,” she answered sweetly.
Mind you, she’s four so I don’t believe she actually spelled the word on purpose. (Or DID she? She is rather feisty..)
“So you don’t know what this says?” I asked.
Natalie tapped her chin. “Letters!” she repeated triumphantly.
So phew. She’s not going to start writing foul words all over her school work.
I mean, I suppose I should be grateful that she didn’t write the word that rhymes with luck.

But those letters are so well formed!!! From an fine motor standpoint, that's beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably not frame it and hang it though. Maybe save it till she gets married or something...
Haha!! That is priceless.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Priceless!!!
ReplyDeletehysterical!
ReplyDeleteBlogger doesn't like me this morning. Tried to post earlier and it canceled out on me. Sorry if this posts twice, but DAMN that story of Na's letters is funny. Pun intended, those cheesy...I know. I'm lacking in the humor dept. this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! Your little Natalie is such a doll.
ReplyDeleteWe went on a mini vacation 2 weeks ago to a water park. The chlorine made Annabelle's legs itch and get a little rashy. As we are walking down the echo-y halls to get to our room, she was yelling my legs are itchy, titchy, bitchy, etc etc. She was just rhyming away but did she have to do it so loudly and in public?
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteI wonder. DOES she know what she's doing? That girl is going to keep you hopping!
I'm impressed she got the "n" on the end. You have a bright girl! Bwhahahaha
ReplyDeleteIt starts with just "writing letters" and next thing you know she'll be leaving papers around the house with the f word.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the chances? She got the n on the end and everything!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny coincidence!
ReplyDeleteJust letter Mom...Damn she is good! lol! Writing is a thing of the past.....how's her typing skills!
ReplyDeleteShe's so smart! She spelled it right and everything! lol Good luck with her. She's going to keep you on your toes.
ReplyDeleteOMG...Lol. But kinda cute too.
ReplyDeleteAt least she spelled it correctly.
ReplyDeleteduck, suck, muck...what could you meant..
ReplyDeleteHilarious! This is one of the more tame words at least. :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the spelling lessons!
25 years ago when my son was 5 years old one night at the dinner table - he proudly said to his father and I, looked what I learned today. I looked up to see him setting there with both his middle fingers pointed up in the air. I gasped and started to scream out when my husband calmly said Robert do you know what that means? Robert said I was just waving hello. Appanently some older child at school thought it was funny to teach the youger children this jester. We had to explain to Robert that this was not a nice way to "wave hello". So I truely believe that your daughter had no idea this was a bad word.
ReplyDeleteha! Love it.
ReplyDeleteHah hah hah hah! I cant wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love it! They are so
ReplyDelete"damn" cute and don't even know it. These are the makings of what keeps us laughing through motherhood eh? The other day we were in the car and my son says
"jacka$%" and I yell
"where did you hear that word???" and he says " you say it"
You know what? I do..all the time when I drive. OOPS!
I have to admit this is pretty hilarious. I am surprised my DIEM hasnt done this. Last year at easter though I had her sign her name in my easter cards that I made for friends. I told her, write your name big enough so people can see it. Well she also asked if she could write peoples names in them... This is what I get.... DIE(little m) RAMON. So in the card it looked like a hate message.
ReplyDeleteWell shit, at least she hasn't picked up your damn bad habits.
ReplyDeleteI probably would have laughed my ass off if my kid came home with that on her paper! Love that age, they are getting so smart yet still our little babies all the same. :)
ReplyDeleteWhether she KNEW and is hiding it, or didn't know and is just really getting the hang of letters, one thing's for sure, your Na/Nat is damn smart :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I love when other people admit that they cuss & their kids pick up on it once in a while. LOL.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth rhymes random words all the time..,and sometimes those words aren't proper words. I just tell her to stop, but not why. I figure as long as she doesn't know I'm good. But then again she is crafty...
ReplyDeleteYou have to keep that FOREVER. "Letters" She even got the N in there!! That's like so much better than the monkey-typewriter-Shakespeare thing.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am impressed. I know adults who even know that damn is spelling with an N. Smart girl!
ReplyDeletewho *DON'T even know....
ReplyDeleteduh.
loved it.....
ReplyDeleteloved the post....
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome- definitely something to keep!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the worst part is? She actually spelled it right for not knowing what the word really is compared to any of these 13-30 year olds that spell it wrong all the time on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is a genius. :)
I love it! This is too funny!! The 3yr old I nanny has started writing words. I would die if she came to me with DAMN on her paper!
ReplyDeleteA definite save for the baby book.
ReplyDeleteNot that I have a baby book, so no pressure.
ReplyDeleteImpressive letter selection.
