Adventures in Parenting -- Mom curses

You may remember my post from January about "bad words" and how my daughter, Erin, became acquainted with the taste of soap. Well, Erin is the mom of 29 month-old twins, Sean and Nikolas.

Sunday Eric and I entertained the boys for a few hours in the afternoon. Erin came by to pick them up and we spent a bit of time gathering up all the stuff she packs and carries whenever they go out. The one thing the boys love to do as soon as they get into our house is shed their shoes and socks (and recently, when you aren't looking, Sean is shedding his clothes..but that's another story). Erin is sitting on the couch chatting with me as she automatically is putting back on their shoes and socks. Sean picks up one of his shoes to hand to her, looks at the bottom, then holds it up to his mom to say "Mom, mom. Ewwww. Icky." Erin snags the shoe from him, studying a mess embedded in the sole of his shoe. Her brow is furrowed and she takes a cautious sniff and then looks up annoyed, "Don't tell me he stepped in dog shit!"

You'd have thought someone handed Sean an ice cream cone. His eyes twinkled, a large smile spread across his little face bracketed by dimples.

"Dog chit!" he exclaimed as he started running through the house, "Dog chit! Dog chit! Dog chit!"

The look on Erin's face was priceless and it took all I had not to fall on the floor in laughter.

Proof positive of a humorous God Who listens to moms when they say "I hope you have children just like you!"
