Alphabet madness
I held up a card, and Gabriel took a minute, before confidentially saying, “That’s a A. It makes the sound “ah“, like in the word “apple.”
“Great job, Gabriel. What’s this one?”
“B, and it says “buh, just like ball.”
Great. Next one? What’s this letter?”
“C, and it makes the KKK sound.”
“Can you think of a word that starts with that sound.”
“Yep. Crap.”
I am soooo busted as a good parent.
Had you gotten to D, any child of mine would have responded, "D. As in Damn."
Move over on the busted parent train....

LOL.
4 yr old son to husband, "What is an ass?"
Husband, "Another word for donkey."
4 yr old, "Oh. That's weird."
Husband, "Why?"
4 yr old, "Well, why does Mom call you a donkey all the time?"
Think I need seat on that train...

I burst into my daughter's room once when she was about 2 1/2 or 3. "Mommy!" she yelled, "You scared me outta the crap!" It's our permanent outburst whenever startled now!
