Ethan - walks into the room and drops something.

E: "Aw shoot."
Looks at coworker panicked.
E: "I can say 'shoot," right?"
Coworker: "Yes, you can say 'shoot.'"
E: "Can I say 'aw shoot'?"
Coworker: "Yes"
E: "But 'fuck' is bad, right?"

Snippets of a Child: Part Trois - Ethan

My coworker told me he had another quote that his child said to him.

Someone asked his child what his favorite drink was at Starbucks.

"Mochafuckaccino."

No, Ethan, I don't think that's a drink though by the time we get done ordering a coffee with more options than a luxury car, we may start calling it that.

Snippets of a Child: Ethan - Part Deux

As always, my coworker has a story about Ethan (see : http://iamnormalyourenot.com/2008/04/snippets-of-child.html), his son.

Ethan was in time out today with other children. Of course, he goes to an overprotective school where the teachers call the parents for EVERYTHING. Today Ethan and some other "bad boys" (Ethan is all of 5) got in trouble and had to sit in timeout.

"Ethan, what happened?"
"Well Joey was in timeout because he talked back to the teacher when she asked him a question about opposites."
"And..."
"Aaaaaaaaaand...Michael got in timeout because he had kicked someone, but he didn't 'kick' him, he pushed him with his foot hard...."
"Aaaaaand...."
"And, Andrew was in timeout because he was throwing things at this other boy."
"And why were you in timeout?"
"I don't know."
