Say what? Part VIII

We must watch what we say around young children--for a lot of reasons. One being that they repeat things...

--Tara to her 3-year-old friend Annabelle: "Don't give me that, I'm not a garbage can."

--Tara to me: "Watch your mouth."

--Tara: "Look Mommy, he's kind of chubby."

--Tara when something doesn't work right: "AARRRRGGH."

--When I ask her to go upstairs to get something: "No, I'm too tired."

--Tara to Austin: "Your room is a mess."

--Tara to her neighbor friend: "Don't be a tattle tale."

--When I want her to move on to the next thing: "I'm trying to do something here."

And lastly: "I just need two minutes."
