We have been trying to help Eve understand the "right" words to say and the "wrong" words to say... and I think she is finally getting the hang of it :) Recently, she asked me "does our family say 'seriously?'" when she heard someone say it with a mean tone of voice. She knows that our family doesn't say words like "hate" or "kill", so when she hears me say, "i hate that happened..." or Eric telling us about someone being "killed" in the news, Eve is quick to correct us by saying, "mommy and daddy, our family does NOT say hate or kill! That is not very nice!!" I have to agree with her and apologize, hoping that sets a good example to her in the future.
On the way home from school today, I was stopped at a red light by our house. From the back seat, Eve hollers, "Should I say 'go, lady' or will you?" I laughed and said, "Mommy doesn't say 'go, lady'". To which she replied, "Well daddy does. He said it tomorrow, so he'll say it again today."
