The things we teach our children

We don't cuss in our house. Well, we try not to, we use interesting and unique phrases or words instead.
Mase is a year old and collecting these words and phrases with a single minded attention. He's also pushing the boundaries of his little world every day. Sometimes that toddler pushes his world into mine. That makes it his and my poor world is shrinking and has the privacy of a fishbowl. Tonight was a VERY good example to Daddy dear of what I deal with several times a day.

Mike went to the bathroom.
Mase followed.
mike locked the door.
Mase hit the door like a pinata.
dad- "No! Don't hit, no."
baby- "DAD! Dad dad dad dad dad. Door!"
dad- "no, door stays shut."
baby- "Dad dad, dad dad dad dad. DOOR!"
dad- "NO"
baby "Dad, door! Dad, DOOR dad door dad door."
dad- silence.
baby- "aw, bug 'em." walks away.
