Yet another parenting fail....

I just need to get this down for posterity purposes - Cole, you're a piece of work. We're in trouble in about 10 more years (or less). 

The other morning, as you were struggling to get dressed before school, you yelled out in frustration "Mom, my fuckin' underwear don't work".  Hoping that I did not hear what I thought I heard, I calmly asked "what did you say?". 

You gladly repeated yourself, very loudly "MOM, I SAID MY FUCKIN' UNDERWEAR DON'T WORK".  That's what I thought you said.  I tried so hard to keep a straight face and tell you that was inappropriate and you were not allowed to say such things.  Not an easy task - something about hearing a 4 year old say the "F" word keeps you from keeping a straight face. Especially when it's in the right context.  You nailed it.

Not one of my more proud parenting moments.  I have NO idea where you heard that word - certainly could not have been from me.....
