I'm a stay-at-home mom. I'm with my children all day, every day. This means, dear readers, that my Big Ten, college-educated, English-majored (and French, by the way) brain is often a big, soupy mess that can't compute real words. This is generally not an issue because my kids prefer "kidspeak" anyway, but the part that baffles me the most is when I find myself talking to other adults and I can't seem to speak to them properly. See, my world is full of blankies, potties, doggies, and poopies (so much talk about poopies), and sometimes the words that I use with my kids (or rather, the words my kids use with me) slip out when I least expect them.
And it's kind of embarrassing. Such is the life of a mom, so here are just a few shining examples:
