Freaking Idiot!
So I had hockey practice today and the kids were going to be tended by our neighbor who has boys that are Mikey’s age (and he loves playing with them). I told Mikey we were going to go to his friends’ house but first we had to go to Walmart. So we get packed all up in the car and head out. Well his friends’ house is on the way to Walmart and I drove past kind of slowly because part of the street was closed off. As we passed the house Mikey yells out,
“Mom! You FREAKING IDIOT!!! You just drove RIGHT past my FRIENDS’ house. What were you THINKING just then?”
I was so stunned by this outburst I couldn’t come up with a good response to him. Unfortunately I recalled calling Bubba (our dog) a freaking idiot last night when he pooped on the floor. So how can I be too critical of Mikey. I just explained to him that he is NOT allowed to say that to PEOPLE. Hopefully he will obey that rule …

It’s always a little unnerving to look in those short little mirrors of ourselves and see the things we’d rather not … it makes you glad you don’t say the REAL bad swears though, huh?!
