Alex surprised me with a new little word that I thought he'd been saying recently but was never quite sure. He was eating breakfast and I got him some blueberries to go with his waffle. Here's how the exchange went:
A: Blackberries too, Mama.
J: We don't have any blackberries.
A: Yes Mama, blackberries too.
J: Alex, we don't have any blackberries. We have to get some next time we go to the store.
A: Get some more blackberries, dammit (fist pumping while saying this).
J: What did you just say?
A: Get some more blackberries.
J: And then what did you say?
A: (very matter-of-factly) Dammit.
Unfortunately he did learn this one from me. So I had to explain how Dammit is not a very nice thing to say and that Mama shouldn't be saying it either and that he should tell me not to say it if he hears me say it.
J: So Alex, what happens if I say dammit?
A: I say "you no say dammit, Mama. It's not nice."
I'm very proud of myself that I didn't laugh through the entire exchange.

Well, I'm laughing so hard I have tears running down my face. It's the fist pumping that makes it so priceless.
that's the funniest thing I've heard in a while!
