poop bear

we were sitting at the table eating together yesterday when Mandolin pointed at a picture of winnie the pooh on her yogurt and said "look daddy, it's poop. I like that poop bear." I started laughing, because it's funny. My guy decided to deal with it by insisting that she said it right and then they got in the "pooh bear" vs. "poop bear" fight. A long time ago I decided that I refuse to fight with a baby/young child. If she wants to call it poop bear, more power to her. She's 2, if you get into a power struggle over something like a name, you've just become two yourself. I have other things I'd rather do, like laugh with her about someone naming a bear poop. It is a funy name for a bear after all.

Hallie said "callipitter" for years. I nearly killed Ian when he corrected her.

Liam used to say "magrazine" for magazine, and Dwoooves for Dwarfs (as in Snow White and the 7)

My nephew used to say "firefuck" for fire truck. It was interesting.

I recognize 健康's right to say what he did, but I vehemently disagree! Especially the part about 交友,台灣情色論壇. That's just insane!

And I don't believe him about 視訊,微風成人聊天室. No kid is going to say "Promiscrewity" at the age of 4.
