Words with Toddlers

Husband and Mittens are sitting at the dinner table while I clear plates.

HUSBAND: “Baby, can you say titties?”

MITTENS: “Kitties!”

ME, to Husband: “Don’t tell Mitzi to say titties. What if she actually said titties?”

HUSBAND: “Then it’d be AWESOME. Baby, say titties…not kitties.”

MITTENS: “Kitties!”

ME: “Just stop.”

HUSBAND: “Baby, can you say penis?”

MITTENS: “Pee-nus.”

ME: “Stop, stop! We already know she can say that considering she thought it was Peter Pan’s name awhile back. Stop with the words.”

HUSBAND: “It’s fine. She doesn’t know what they mean.”

ME: “Still. Adults know what they mean.”

I drop a fork on the floor and it almost hits my foot.

ME: “Shit.”

MITTENS: “Shit!”

ME: “Shit.”

HUSBAND: “HA!”
