He sees them from across the room and starts crying out, yes, you guessed it, "F*CKERS! WOOK AT ALL DOSE F*CKERS!"<BR/><BR/>I wanted to die and nearly did as I got the icy cold stare of disapproval. The whole room started to laugh when I walked over, grabbed a candy and said, "I wish his daddy had taught him they were lollipops instead....."Tyler Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021870354703680808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-68086602995821667582008-05-14T19:49:00.000-04:002008-05-14T19:49:00.000-04:00Oh.

Barb, I'm just rolling on the floor coughing, it's so bad...<BR/><BR/>And Tina, with ""pumpkin ice cream" which always came out "f--in ass cream"" -- I almost passed away on that one.<BR/><BR/>No speech challenges with my three boys, but they do tend to flip the world off ... and that finger seems to need more band aids than any other.<BR/><BR/>And yes, all the movie lines... What about Ice Age. Any time someone takes the last of anything, we say "the last mellon".... And the boys were talking about camping out in the gazebo and "telling manly stories" (Donkey to Shreck).<BR/><BR/>My youngest did, however, mix up the words to Felice Navidad and was singing Felice Ladeedah -- which I didn't realize I said so often until that day!<BR/><BR/>Humor...what a delight!

I think I found your blog through a comment on the lifestream blog.<BR/><BR/>Anyway... I just had to comment on this. My son used to say exactly the same thing instead of truck. :) It first came out when he got a fire f**k for Christmas. It had everybody cracking up, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>With our two kids (now 7 and 9), I can also relate to having large chunks movies and TV shows ingrained on my mind for all eternity. I still find myself bursting out into Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy, for no apparent reason and also saying, "And in the morning, I'm making waffles!"Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-15765005769590971902008-05-12T10:45:00.000-04:002008-05-12T10:45:00.000-04:00Tina, I'm reading your blog as we speak.

Hysterical. <BR/><BR/>My youngest has speech issues too so I completely sympathize...but I don't think we ever had anything that funny. I hope his future wife appreciates that story some day.<BR/><BR/>And I understand about knowing parts of Disney movies and Veggie Tales better than the Bible. What about The Lion King, A Goofy Movie and Lilo and Stitch? The Wiggles? Blue's Clues? <BR/><BR/>Sigh. <BR/><BR/>Now I have to know the lyrics to rap and heavy metal songs (to determine their appropriateness) and know which animé shows aren't adult in nature.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.com
