Kids say the darnedest things

Since today is Nana Harla's birthday, the boys thought we should go out to dinner to celebrate, despite the fact that Nana Harla lives in Kansas City and isn't here visiting on her big day.

We went to Olive Garden, where we had a nice family dinner.

Casey was especially impressed, saying "the food was wonderful" and "the service was outstanding." (I don't know where he gets this stuff!)

A few minutes later, Brett brought up Dan's first name for some reason.

Casey then volunteered that "Dan" is not only Dan's first name, but it's a word people use when they're mad or when they're losing at a video game.

Believe it or not, Dan actually explained that people say "damn" when they're mad, but told Casey it was a bad word and not to use it.

Where do they come up with these things?

Maria, ask Dan if he remembers what Casey said when I babysat the boys once. They were playing a mini-game of baseball in our living room. And the ball rolled out of his sight ...

I remember this story and the naughty word.

However, I believe it was Brett who dropped the bomb.

Maria said...

Yes. In our house, both boys have quite expansive vocabularies! :)

I wonder where they would have learned it from?? :))

I just think it's so nice that you went out and had a wonderful family dinner with outstanding service! And you had a conversation with your kids. No matter that Nana Harla wasn't there...that's good stuff.

Besides the bomb, I do remember how perfectly in context it was!
