During a rant about people who call awen a boy even when i have her dressed in pink at neil i commented I sometimes find it hard not to say 'yes this is my son, my screaming queen of a son' then added 'shes all in pink and they STILL think shes a boy, swindon must have an awful lotta poofs!' Not very PC but then heard a muffled voice from behind the sofa remarking 'Yes PUFFS!'


In addition this week ive been informed 'Mummy you're a 'panner' (spanner) (bad mummys favourite term of endearment)and upon one wet day she sighed and commented 'Boody Wain!' (bad daddy)

Then whilst sat on the loo she said to me Mummy I farted. No, I corrected, you trumped. No Mummy I FARTED!!! (we have been blaming each other for that one)

Hehe lol at farting!

My big kids are 14 and 20 and still not allowed to say fart in my presence. I think its a horrible word!! We're only allowed trumps in our house (which I dont do anyway)!!!

I allow Caitlin to say fart. I didnt think it was rude, whoops! Caitlin says 'I far' all the time - tbh I probably encourage it by asking what she just did.

My sister encourages my niece to say fart because she thinks any other word for it is stupid and will get her teased when she goes to school (My sis is an infant school teacher )

I also have a little mynah bird and mine even copies the tone of my voice now. (He whispers 'oh god' under his breath like I do )

Aww bless so cute! It gets worse!

We have taken the view that trump is preferable but fart isnt terrible. doesnt warrant any fuss anyway.

And ditto on the tone of voice. After bad refluxy days while giving awen a dummy caelyn can perfectly mimic my 'oh awenawenawenawenawenawen, enough already'
