Late night, like 11:00pm. Watching Law and Order SVU (love it!)... 3-year-old comes to bedside and says... "Mother, my diaper is JACKED UP. You need to fix it!"... SO many things wrong with that sentence... First off, "Mother"? Really? You're 3 years old. (Ok, soon to be 4 but whatever). And you're calling me "Mother"? What happened to "Momma" or "Mommy"? Secondly... "Jacked up"? You seriously just said that? Lastly... you're … [Read more...]
