1. My 3.5yo daughter announced that she and Mommy do not have a "tail" like Daddy. I know that we should start telling her the proper terminology but we are living overseas in a more conservative country and I would like to avoid the "horror" of others hearing her use the right words at such a young age. She sees there is a difference and can learn the real words a bit later I suppose...
2. We were visitng my in-laws and my SIL apparently heard her say a bad word. She asked my daughter what she said, and my daughter whispered to her, "it's a bad word in Egypt" (we were in Egypt for a couple of months earlier in the year)
3. Related to above, she knows that she is not supposed to say bad words, so she sometimes actually says the words "bad word" as a substitute ("mommy, you're a bad word") - we are working on making her understand that is not nice either...
I am sure I will think of others - thanks to the OP and PPs for a good laugh!
To the immediate PP, my daughter hates for me to clean her ears, so in order to get her to "ease up", I told her she had "elephant poop" in her ear, so now when I want to check, she tells me "no elephant poop, mom!"
your daughter is hilarious. I bet you never have a dull moment with her!
