Did I mention I have BOYS? So it is a bit shocking hearing this quote out of a 6 y/o’s mouth. It all goes back to the confusion about “getting dressed” and “dress”. There are several areas that I purposely haven’t corrected their speech because it makes me laugh (give me a break here). This is one of those areas until today when it occurred to me that I also have to assure his survival at school where it might not be so funny. But I am NOT changing that we regularly eat at “old McDonalds” anytime soon….cluck, cluck.
My daughter calls the hood on her coat and sweatshirts “helmets”. I don’t correct that, either. I think it’s hysterical when she’s getting ready to go outside and she says “I gotta put my helmet on.”
We’ve got to let them be cute while we can. It’s only a matter of time before they’ll know more than us!
I really like your posts, by the way. You’re great at teasing out the humour.

not correcting their speech is just a little tiny bit of revenge on the havoc they have wreaked on our lives. i’m such a good mommy.
