After hearing a radio ad declaring "Uncle Eddie has the best (insert strategically placed chicken clucks here) wings..."
Sarah (clearly delighted with her own social savvy): "Oh I know exactly what words they were covering over, Mom."
Mommy (curious to a fault): "You do? Please don't say it, but you can spell it."
Sarah (confidently): "They wanted to say 'D-A-M-N.'"
Mommy (oddly pleased and relieved) "Well, I am very glad they used chicken noises instead."
During a viewing of the much-loved-in-the-Lage house Pawn Stars, wherein Old Man relegated Big Hoss and Chumlee to his "#&!*&#% list..."
Darren (delighting in debauched language) "Awww! I know what list he put them on. It has two syllables."
Mommy (surprised, and confused by the polysyllabic assumption): "You do?"
Darren (confidently): "It's another word for 'donkey,' and it begins with a 'j'."
Count me as one twin mom pleased to have her nine-year-olds blissfully--and happily, ignorantly---on the naive end of the nasty language list. (Which bears absolutely no resemblance to the presupposed 'jackass list.')

keep raising those kids right, mama!
That's so sweet...dreading the days where mine will be filling in the blanks! I love that Pawn Stars is so popular in your house!
Haha. Mine aren't as sweet. I have a similar post right now :)
Boy are your kids cute!!! :)
Um yeah, the bleeps can turn out funny conversations especially when you have a 10 year old and a five year old...different angles need to be spoke from...
Anything to get them to work on their spelling! My 6yo is convinced there is a swear word that begins with "z". Guessing what it might be keeps him entertained for hours!
