Danger

So, I've been trying to teach Gannon that we don't say the word "stupid." Many of the conversations go like this:

G: "Mommy, we do not say stupid."

M: "That's right Gannon, stupid is not a nice word. Please don't say it again."

G: "OK, Mommy, I won't say stupid anymore."

M: "OK, thank you."

G: "Stupid is not nice, I don't say stupid anymore. Mommy!!!....We don't say stupid."

M: "OK, Gannon! Don't say it anymore."

A brief pause of silence.

G: "Mommy, we don't say stupid."

Ahhh! He says it so many times that I try to ignore him in hopes that he'll stop, but he is rather fascinated with the word, as he thinks it's taboo to say it. over. and. over.

Which brings me to today's conversation with my Ma, on the ever so fabulous Skype. She was telling me about something "stupid" and wouldn't you know, Gannon jumped right on the opportunity to ask, "Mommy, did Nani say stupid?" "Yes, Gannon, Nani said stupid." He then looks at the monitor and as serious as Gannon can be, he says, "Nani! We do not say stupid to kids! It is very dangerous!" To which, she lost it laughing and then informed him that he made her day.

So stupid. ;)
