Foul Mouthed Babes

Having some friends over for an unplanned get together, I was reminded how sometimes the simplest moments in life can be wonderful. The adults were happy, the few kids there were happy. All was good. Then our friend J's daughter began shouting, "Fuck, fuck, me want fuck! Daddy, Jimma no give me fuck!"

I don't think I've ever enjoyed the sight of a grown man turning three shades of red and breaking into a sweat as fast as he did. (Well, there was that one time in a gay bar. But to be fair we forgot to mention it was gay bar.) But you know what was even better than that? Hearing her twin brother say "Okay Sissy, you be a fucker too".

While J sat still looking completely horrified, his wife was in the corner nearly pissing her pants. She managed to gasp out, "Truck, she wants to play with his toy truck" before falling into another fit of laughter. J, looking very relieved, got down on the floor and pleadingly tried to coax the correct pronunciation out of his 2 year olds.

After all was said and done, it was a wonderful evening enjoyed by all. Even sweet little Sissy who, while holding onto her brothers truck, shouted with glee "Yay, I'm a good fucker!" as they headed out the door.
