we have been having a problem with bad language in our home recently, thanks to public school! i am sad to say my chloe has a mouth like a....
sailor!!!!
we have grounded her, taken her priviledges away, put soap in her mouth, i just don't know what to do. this behavior is so unlady like. i am open to ANY suggestion!
we were in the car last week driving to the speech therapist and this was the conversation my kids were having in the backseat...
caleb : you girls need so many things. you need sneakers, dress shoes, boots, tight and regular socks, dresses, bras......( this was when my ear perked and i really started to pay attention to what was being said )
chloe : no we don't! you KNOW you wanna bra!
caleb : eww no i don't!
ellery : he wants an eye bra!
chloe : they are called eye masks ellery!
LOL!! i was cracking up when ellery said eye bra! eye masks do kinda looks like a bra. it was hilarious! they always make me laugh =)
Tell her you're going to make her clean the potty, as a new chore, since she likes having a potty mouth :) Or she can clean the cats' potty!

I heard once from the Supernanny that you are supposed to ignore bad language. Heaven help anyone actually trying to do that. But I know when I was a kid I had bad language, and my mom actually only had to clean out my mouth with soap to make it stop. It tasted terrible!
