One of the neighborhood boys, Austin, is over here playing with the girls, Renee and Natalie. Generally, he is a nice, well behaved, 4 year old child. Yesterday afternoon, when we had returned home from church, he ran up to Bug and asked if they could play together. I told him maybe later but we had to eat lunch, etc...
He and Bug chatted for a second and then he said, "See ya tomorrow!!" Then he leaned closer to her and said very sternly, "If I don't see you tomorrow your butt is going to be grounded!" Then he straightened up, waved enthusiastically and said very cheerfully, "See ya!!"
Bug just stood there looking a little perplexed. She has never heard the word "grounded" and at our house "butt" is a bad word. I think she had no idea what he was trying to say to her. That's ok with me but now I keep a closer eye on everyone when he is around. Just in case there is something I need to explain or correct.
I think I would lay down the law to that kid on behavior at your house.
ReplyDeleteI will if he ever does something like that again. So far, he has behaved himself.
ReplyDeleteI would kindly tell him that "we" do not allow the word "butt" in our home and he needs to not use that type of language while playing at your house??? I always guided everyone else's kids while I was at it. If his mom doesn't like it....he'll quit coming over...thus problem solved:))
