The Word the Little Miss Uttered on the Way Home from Dinner

29 Jan 2013 » 1 min read » Filed under: Personal & Family

Despite freezing rain and temperatures yesterday, it was 70 degrees out when I left the office this afternoon. We decided to take advantage of the weather and walk to a nearby restaurant. We had a nice dinner and then proceeded to walk home. While walking home, we saw an odd, and very minor fender-bender take place. The Little Man found it exciting, and asked why the cars crashed1. I was about to say it was because the guy was an idiot, but Kelly jumped in with her most derogatory term for this kind of situation: “Because he’s an ass.”

Ten minutes later, as we are almost home, we were reviewing the events of the evening. “And we also saw a car crash!” The Little Man said.

And from within her stroller, the Little Miss, who is not yet 18 months, said, “Ass!”

Like mother, like daughter, I guess.

  1. They really didn’t “crash” it was a fender bender, one that was based completely on road rage.

    The real question is did you add this to Evernote to document the date your daughter first said “ass”?

    1. Ha! Well, the blog posts get pulled into Evernote via RSS and IFTTT automatically, so it’s there for me to taunt her with as a teenager. 🙂
