There are certain phrases that we use all the time, sometimes several times a day, without thinking about them. But when the same phrase spills out of the innocent mouth of your two year old, it suddenly sounds so much more crude. So when Butterfly first started repeating "oh crap", we were quick to correct her and have tried hard to change ourselves. Now, she's the enforcer and will correct us, "no mommy! don't say that! say 'oh man!'"
So tonight, daddy was frustrated, muttered "oh crap" and Butterfly promptly corrected him, "no daddy, don't say that!" Ladybug was cuddled up next him and after hearing this exchange, repeated "oh crap." Butterfly chastised her as well so Ladybug said it again, louder and with more enthusiasm. This led to several rounds of repeating it with Ladybug giggling harder, Butterfly getting madder and me trying not to laugh.
After we settled down we returned to what we had been doing (watching Glee) until the girls got bored and decided to ride their bikes down the slide of the playhouse instead.
