It's The Little Things Thursday.

"Goodnight Zoey, I love you!"

"Good night mommy, I love you, too!"

"Sweet dreams, I miss you already."

"I love you more!"

"No, I love you more!"

"Be quiet! I love you more, mommy!"

It's The Little Things Thursday.

Zoey comes up to me with her plushie pony wrapped up.

"I have baby!"

"Awww, so cute," I say, "what do you feed it?"

"Boobies!"

It's The Little Things Thursday.

Zoey was at the kitchen table piecing together a puzzle.

Kaylee, John, and I were in the living room.

When she was finished, she called out to me, as usual.

I was talking to John so didn't answer quickly enough,

But John did, by asking, "What Zoey?"

She looked at him from the table and says,

with a little-miss-attitude,

"I wasn't talking to YOU!"

Yesterday while Zoey was dressing,
she kind of neglected her pants.
She swiftly went to go put on her boots.
I said, "honey, you have to put your pants on first."
She huffs at me, and in a loud tone, replies,
"Oooo-KAY, calm down!"

Fuck Censorship.

Warning: If you are offended by words, please browse away from this entry. Please and thank you.


There is a shirt I really want to get for my girls to wear that says, "Watch your fucking language there is a goddamn baby in the room". [link] I think it's just so cute. Mind you, a lot of people might not find the humour, especially some of the older generations.

However, I've decided against censorship in my house. It's just something I think it pointless. In fact, I hate censorship in any form. I don't like that one might have to do things differently to appease society's ideals. I know there is a question of respect that comes into play with you disregard the social standards, but I rarely do anything out of ill intent.

When it comes to those 'curse words' I just have to laugh a little. I mean, why are these words EVEN considered bad to begin with? They are just words, simple sounds and letters we have placed together. They are nothing solid, though I will say they can be damn good weapons.

The intent of the words, sometimes, are negative. I get this. However, if you replace the word with something else, you have the same intent, just different words. "That's bull shit, " and "that's crap," is the same meaning, just sugar coated.

I think censorship is counterproductive, as well. It makes it seem more desirable from the outside. It paints this picture of it only being allowed to special people, or adults.

I am not offended by cursing, though I know some people are.

I am not bothered by my daughters saying curse words. Actually, it kind of makes me laugh.

Shit, in the end they'll probably pick it up from school, any ways.

I am trying to train myself away from telling my children they cannot do (or in this instance, say) something. I want them to know the world, for what it is, and make the decisions they feel are best.
These are just my thoughts on this subject.

I don't understand a lot of society's boxes, so I don't bother to try to fit in them.
I think, when all is said and done, that words are words. I can do just as much damage using no curse words as I could using them. It's the intent behind them that make them mean anything more than simple barbaric noises.

--For more on the subject, look into works by George Carlin. :)

It's The Little Things Thursday.

My daughter plays 'Zombie' now.

She walks around with her arms in front of her

saying, "Zommmbiiiieee."

So I asked,

"What do Zombie's eat?"

"Brows," she replies,

pointing out her forehead.

It's The Little Things Thursday.

Getting ready to go up stairs with the girls for bedtime,
I went into the kitchen to put something in the fridge.
Zoey comes running in, giggling,
"Kaylee can't see! It's dark!"
I look to see that Zoey has turned off
the lights and the television.
Poor Kaylee just looks at me in silence
with big round eyes.
