Lately, my kids have had dirty mouths. Really! Okay, it depends who you are, if they really have “dirty” mouths.
My step-mom would just cringe if she heard my three year old say –
“Mom, did you turn on your “BUTT warmer?” Translation – Mom, did you turn on your leather seat heater in the car?
My response – “We don’t say butt.”
His response – “BUTT warmers– BUTT warmers – BUTT BUTT BUTT.”
Okay, at this point – I’m a terrible mother because I can hardly drive – I’m laughing hysterically. I just realize that there are more battles than the word “Butt” and quite honestly, I say butt a lot.
However, I realized yesterday, there may be a problem…when I hear in the other room my three year old and five year old singing to the tune, Jingle Bells, something like this….
Butt Butt Butt
Butt Butt Butt – Butt Butt all the way…
Yes, they sang the whole song.
Houston, we may have a little Butt problem!
Blessings to you!!! You are LOVED!!!
I love it!!! Kids are so great! We long ago gave up on the butt battle. My 3-year-old son’s version of the song is “Jingle poop, jingle poop, jingle all the poop!” Ha ha!
This is really funny Lana, and I’m glad that you can find the humor in it instead of getting upset about it. I remember when teaching that the word “but” always brought giggling from the class especially when it was 3rd grade or younger. 🙂
LOL! Sorry…I’m laughing right with you. 😉 I think pointing it out and forbidding it sometimes makes it all the more fun and I chose my battles too.

I meant to add: Yes, there are bigger battles to fight—so save your strength for another day—you may need it!
I LOVE a good “butt” story! 😉
At least it’s not like the kid on the youtube video that says the A.. word for butt.
She was saying she would kick the monsters A..
It was hilarious so I can imagine you laughing your (BUTT!) off.
😀
Oh, that’s too funny! And, thanks for the timely reminder that we need to pick our battles! 🙂
Too funny- butt and poop are favorite words around here. I blame potty training.
Ahh the joys of children who realize the on the edge words and run them into the ground. Imagine it with 3 boys and some of the words they can push the envelope on.
