The Captain and the Chipper

I just happened upon your father the other day working on a car. Look at his amigo there - the chipper. They are so muy lovely.

Anyway, #3 you start a new class tomorrow and so dad and I took you to get some new pants to start off the day. Dad picked out the cutest little shirt for you. It has Wonder Woman and a couple of other female superheros on the front. It says, "Girls rule the world. Boys just live here." As we are driving home here is our conversation:

#3, "Tell me what the shirt says again."

Me, "Girls rule the world. Boys just live here."

#3, "That's right. Boys suck."

Me, "That is not a word we are allowed to say."

#3, "I am not allowed to say SUCK?"

Me, "That is right you are not allowed to say it."

#3, " Sometimes it is used in sentences. Like Ava sucks on her bottle. What else would I say?"

Me, "Don't ever say it. Also, Ava doesn't use a bottle."

#3, "What if a sentence calls for it."

Me, "Use another word instead."

Delayed reaction

#4, "Ava doesn't suck on a bottle. Ava likes a sippie cup. I only suck on candy."

#3 (laughing hysterically. Whispering - "she said it.")

Me, "Hey #4, I love it when you speak in 3rd person."

#4, "I like sucking on candy."

#3, "Boys are evil..........................except for you dad. "
