This is not a joke so please stop smiling

When I stopped by to pick up Mr M and take him to school, he was being scolded for something he'd done (or maybe something he was supposed to do but didn't, I'm not sure because I just caught the tail end of it).

While his mom was finishing what she had to say, Mr M rolled his eyes and said, "Oh my gosh!"

Ex: You've been saying that to me way too much lately. I want you to stop saying that.

Mr M: Oh my gosh, Mom.

Ex: I told you not to say that.

Mr M: Oh my gosh. 'Oh my gosh' is just 'oh my gosh.' It's not a swear word. Look it up.

Ex: I don't care if it's not a swear word. I want you to quit saying it to me. Now brush your teeth.

Mr M: You brush your teeth.

Ex: What did you just say to me?

Mr M: Nothing.

Ex: That's what I thought.

Mr M (waiting until she'd walked a safe enough distance out of the room): YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH!

AWESOME. Mr M totally belongs in a Judd Apatow movie.

I love when kids think they know it all. Makes me laugh. I know I had a smart mouth and I'm sure I will pay for it one day.

Ha. At least he's a smart-ass with a sense of self-preservation. I can admire that . . .

smart kid - he's in no danger of having his mouth washed out with soap and yet,

HE SHOULD.

I enjoyed this post so much, I showed to all of my parent friends. All appreciated very much. But then I had to listen to goofy things their kiddos have said at various times. I sorta had regret.

My favorite as a child was "STOP PERSECUTING ME!"
Yeah- real popular with the adults.
