So - Emma just returned home from a night with grandma and grandpa. Grandma said she had something to tell Ross about their time together. She said while she and Emma were watching a movie - they said the word "damn". Grandma then turned to Emma and said "You know that's a bad word that we don't repeat, right?" Emma then asked "Is it as bad as *ucker?" Shocked at the fact that Emma had ever heard this word anywhere, she immediately told Ross the word that flowed out of our daughter's mouth.
So when Emma was returned to us, I (mom) sat down at the table and said "Emma, we need to have a serious conversation. Grandma tells me you said a pretty bad word at her house?" Emma nodded. "Can you please tell me where you heard that word?" Silence. "It's OK. You can tell me." Then Emma said "I'll go get it." She shortly returned with a Bugs Bunny DVD. "I heard it on here." To which I replied "Emma - no. You did not hear that word on Bugs Bunny." "Yes I did! It was on videos number one and two!" I thought for a second. "Emma? What word DID you hear in that video?" With her head hung low - Emma admitted ... "sucker".
Time to get grandma's hearing checked.

Oh my goodness- that is so funny and it doesn't take any stretch of the imagination to believe it.
LOL! This is the best "Kids say the darndest things" story I've heard in a LOOOONG time :)
Thank goodness it wasn't me she was talking to. Getting old isn't fair. It was funny, however. Keep it up kids!!!!! Parenthood isn't just a walk in the park.

Our favorite "kids say the darndest things" story was when we took Annie to the San Francisco Zoo with our friends the Bergams. The day was warm and as we are strolling thru the crowded zoo (Annie is in her stroller...age about 3)Annie proceeds to turn around and announce to me and everyone around us "Daddy I am thirsty! I want a BEER!" People stopped in thier tracks to view this toddler announcing her beverage of choice to the world and to see what kind of parent would allow thier child to drink beer! Of course we are still to this date dumb founded as to what provoked her desire for a "cold one". All we could do was laugh! long and hard.
