So.
David was in trouble tonight for going into a section of the house that is off limits to him. (it is the upstairs area)
There followed a good hour long diatribe of colossal proportions that involved words that even I had to consult a dictionary to determine the meaning of. Now, it would seem that when I ignored him, he would run out of gas.

No such case. As a result, he became even more angry.
Did you know that “Dunderhead” is an actual word? Truly. You can look it up.
It means: “stupid person”.
I thought that he was making up words as he went along.
He did use quite a few words that I can’t repeat outside of the cab of a Peterbilt or a Kenworth.
Well, I guess I could use them if I was a drunken sailor, but I digress.
LOL….
I have the same problem with my 3-year-old at times. He discovers a new word and will continue to use it over and over….I just wish the words he choose weren’t always 4 letter in nature. I am not sure who he learns those words from most of the time but I know I have to watch what I say if I don’t want it repeated over and over…..yikes!!!

Isn’t it great when our children develop such creativity in their vocabulary?!?!
