2 going on 13

I've given up on the fact that I am going to get a new cable cord soon, to download my pictures to the computer, to then download here. I don't really like posts without pictures...they're not as interesting to me.

Lucy "Oh my gosh"---now I knew the day was coming because I heard the little neighbor girl use the phrase while playing with Lucy. I wasn't aloud to say this as a kid, and really don't think that it sounds right coming out of a two year olds mouth. Much less that she has been saying "oh my goodness" for quite awhile.....To get the whole picture Lucy was sitting at the kitchen table waiting for me to get her lunch made and served. All I heard was this "oh my gosh mom" (if I hadn't been looking at her I would have thought she was a teenager), like I was taking too long to get her and Kady lunch. I nicely said that we did not use that phrase in our house and if she wanted to say something she could use oh my goodness. Her reply: "(we can't use it) oh like the word vomit." (Jim had made that word unacceptable too after a bout of the flu at our house and a non-stop running of the word vomit).

"yes Lucy, like the word vomit"
"well I didn't say vomit mommy, I only said oh my gosh"
"we don't say either of those things Lucy"
"so I can't say vomit or oh my gosh"
"no"
"well I pwomise not to say vomit or oh my gosh"
"thank you Lucy"
"I can say oh my goodness, but not oh my gosh"

Seriously this conversation continued until she used those words at least 20 times. Smugly smiling all the while..... 2 going on 13.

So when I get home from work last night one of her first phrases was: "I can say oh my, but not oh my gosh".........................and so it begins!!
