Ah, Kids and English.

I was just thinking of some of the cute things my kids say. I don't know exactly how they learned them, though. My seven year old has had an interesting expression for showing his frustration. "oh, for the love of Pete's sake." A nice combination of two similar expressions. I try to correct him, but it's hard when you're supressing a laugh at the same time. His new insult is calling you a "Dimblewat." At least I think it's an insult. I've also been called a "shut up head" by my three year old (now 4). Apparently, adding any maligning phrase to "head" creates an instant insult. I did say cute things, didn't I? Well, interesting, anyway.
