Heck No Gidiot!

I have a very adorable 2 year old nephew who has been, um, picking up my bad language habits. My sister says its all my fault but I never had to censor myself before so sometimes it's super difficult to watch what I say. The other day, I was driving in traffic and of course I have road rage so I called a car that cut into my lane an idiot. Next thing I know, the little runt in the back is asking me, "Aunty, that car was a gidiot?" I had to bust out laughing but I said "Yeah, it was." I didn't know if I should have told him not to say the word at all or should I have corrected him on the pronounciation. The whole child rearing thing is really complicated. Not that I'm rearing him but I do have to watch over him every afternoon so that's as close to motherhood as I want to get right now.

Some of the doozies that my nephew has been heard repeating (all from my careful instruction of course).

Heck No! - he doesn't in this cutesy 2 year old kinda high pitched voice that you just have to laugh when you hear it...unless it's when you ask him if you can have a gummi bear and he says Heeeeckkkk No! super-loud and repeatedly.

Peace Out Homie - he's 1/4 black so gotta get him rollin' w/the ebonics

Peace! - w/the 2 finger peace sign.

Wassup playa! - again, he's 1/4 black. LoL.

Deuces - again w/the 2 fingers up.

Brah, you like cracks? - ummm yeah, he's naughty so he gets threatened with spanking a lot. So sometimes, he repeats the phrase to other people.

Toodleloo - eh, I hang around with muffs too so sometimes the mahu language comes out.

Shaka to your tutu - don't ask me where the hell I got this from, but when my neighbor heard him saying it the other day, he had to bust out laughing because his daughter called him a "Rotten Buggah" the day before that. He said we have to pass our literary language on to the young'uns.

Damn Kid - like I said, he's naughty! He called my sister a damn kid the other day. It was super funny.

I'm sure as the days pass, he'll pick up even more, worse slang from me. Stay tuned!
