Noah was trying to zip his jacket to go out and play. He had a playmate over. He couldn't get the zipper. He got so mad. He finally shouted, "Mom can you help me with this DANG zipper?"! I kind of laughed inside and the little girl said, "AHHHH you said a bad WOOOORRRD....." to which Noah said, "Well at least I didn't say the OTHER D word" to which I sucked in air and said, "What might THAT word be?" (thinking he was surely gonna say "damn") and he looked at me incredulously and with such attitude and said almost with a question but not, "DUMB!?" And the little girl said it at the same time as him. I died. Just died.
I LOVE that we are still in the stage where he thinks dumb is a 'bad' word. I mean, it is in that I don't like him to use it towards anyone to hurt their feelings but he has no idea what a 'cuss' word is. If I said the word 'cuss' to him he'd ask me what that word meant so any words that ARE cuss words he's oblivious to.
So funny. So innocent. I SO love it. It will not last forever.

You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
