No. Sh*t.
Can I tell ya how awesome today is going? (Oh, how badly I wish you could read the sarcasm in that sentence.)
Bean has learned a new word today! Gone are the cute words like, “Mama,” “Dada,” and “Uh oh.” Today, Bean began saying the word, “No.” As a result, everything to Bean today is “No.”
For example:
“Hi Beany Baby, how are you?”
“No.”
Or:
“Lets eat some yummy macaroni and cheese, Bean! Your favorite. Mmmm.”
“Noooo.”
Or how about:
“Bean, does Mama have to do anything today, like laundry or dishes or clean?”
“Nooooooooo!”
That’s my girl.
What’s funny is that she has yet to use the word “No” in the correct context. She’ll say no to eating, and commence scarfing down her lunch. I’ll ask her if she wants to be held and she’ll say no, while her hands are in the air reaching for me. She’s a tad confused.
Bean isn’t the only one to learn a new word today.
I was moving a shelving unit from one room to the next and I managed to drop something and nearly smack myself in the head with it (I do not need any more head injuries, thank you). Under my breath, I muttered, “Sh*t.” Two seconds later, Bug stamps his foot down and retorts, “Sit!” but I knew he meant the word I just said. These kids have superhuman hearing capabilities, I tell ya.
So class, your new words are No and Sh*t. Be sure to run home and tell your Mommy and Daddy exactly what you learned from Ms. Lindsay today!
*Sigh*
