Life with little kids is so much fun because of their delicate innocence. How they view the world is precious. So before I forget here are some recent "boyisms":
Mateo comes running into the kitchen, fighting some superhero in his mind. He stop and he says, "F****** bad." I get chills down my back. Immediately, a thousands thoughts start rushing into my head: should I say something, should I ignore it??? But then, he asks, "Mommy, what does f****** bad mean?" All I could answer is: "Where did you hear that?" Mateo: "Evita said it at school today." And so Nico intercepted and said something to the effect that we don't say that word and that's it. He hasn't said it again, but I know that I need to read up on how to deal with kids swearing.
That same night, Mateo sits down to dinner and says: "God is home." Oh boy!!! Again I ask him where he heard that and again he answered Evita. That Evita girl is quite a character!!!
And now on to Santi:
Yesterday on our way back from school, very seriously he asks me, "Mommy, why does Dago always want to be a dog?"
Two days ago, when he sat down to dinner, he wasn't too convinced with his pasta. And he tells his father, with puppy dog eyes, "Daddy, I've been eating all week! I can't eat any more."
Today, we were rehearsing what he could say about his Buzz Lightyear outfit he had chosen for the Spirit Day at CIC. Santi was saying that Potato Head and Rex were Buzz's friends, that Buzz said, "To Infinity and Beyond," and that in Toy Story 3 "he spoke in Espanol." I asked him, "Where does Buzz come from?" hoping Santi could add something like "Buzz came in a space ship from another planet." But no, he says, so matter of fact while he rolls his eyes, "From Toy Story mommy!!!"

yes Mateo has dropped the f bomb a few times . He uses it expertly funnily enough and sadly i don't need to ask him where we heard it. Since he's so young I just decided to ignore. Far more concerning is the "you're stupid" or DUMB that's yelled out all the time.
