It's just a matter of time...

Toddlers don't properly pronounce most/all of their words. Nigel has chosen a rather unfortunate pronunciation for "sock."

COCK!

Sock can not be said quietly. Nigel feels that the joy had from playing with his sock (pulling it off constantly) is such that it must be shouted.

COCK! COCK! COCK!

It is just a matter of time before we're at Publix, the playground, a crowded elevator at the mall...and out of no where...COCK!

JD and I are becoming more and more persistent about saying "ssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssock" everytime we use the word or when he says COCK!

Okay, even bitter, barren, CF me finds that hilarious.

It reminds me of the "Disney Friends Fun Book" I had when I was five. My dad had gotten it from work. It had your usual puzzles, brain teasers, and activities in it. On one of the pages, Donald Duck wanted you to find words that rhymed with "truck." There was buck, duck, muck, and then a space for you to make your own four-letter-word that rhymed with "truck." So, five-year-old me made one up. I was so proud of my new word that I went and showed it to my mother. She took one look at my new word, and went straight outside to yell at my father and uncle who were outside working on the family car.

LOL!

The fil is really the only one with a swearing problem in the family. He's better now about not saying "shit" at every exclamatory opportunity.

We should get Nigel together with my son. For a while, he was mispronouncing Thomas the Tank Engine's friend, Percy. Yep, together they could be Cock and ...

Nigel called Percy that also. But he always said it so soft and sweet...nearly a dreamlike manner - Puss-sy!
