HOLY SHEEE!!!!

**Warning: This could possibly offend some of my readers...so if I do..i am sorry...I still love you all!****

So one of the perks of working at Club Sport in Kids World, is I have been able to master making paper airplanes. They are a huge hit with the kids. Before i started working with the kids,i knew that i would have to have someone teach me how to do this. I could technically "Make them" but they would not fly. From what i observed...it would not go down well if the plane you made didnt fly!

While I was in training I noticed how much the kids love love love the airplanes. It didn't matter if they were 1 or 12..they loved the paper airplanes. Especially the ones that would do tricks or fly super far.... So i mastered the skill. It has been a huge hit with my boys.

Whenever Mr.C gets the chance he is running in with stacks of paper and he asks he to make them for him. I was getting tired of making them at home and seriously we were wasting trees from the loads that i would make...so i told him i would only make one a day. He then decided to take matters into his own hands and make his "own" airplanes. I told him that was fine to practice but still he could only do up to 5 a day...which really is a ton less than what i would catch him doing. He loves to make them for him and his little brother. I used to walk into a room and there would literally be no carpet in sight..the floors would be white with paper airplanes. So i had to stop the chaos of paper wasting.

Mr. C loves when his buddies come over. He loves to have me make each of them their own special "jet" of which, i will individualize and color. They usually turn out pretty sweet and the kids will play forever flying their planes around the house. Well those who know my son and his friends know how competitive they all are. They will get their airplanes and then it is a constant competition to see who's jet flies the fastest or the longest. The other day i was watching one of Mr. C's friends. He was sooo excited to have me make them all their special airplanes. So i sat down and i went to town making and decorating their jets. I made each kid their own airplane, and then i would color and write their names on them so they knew who's was who's. The kids where sooo excited to launch the airplanes off the top of my stairs to see how far and how fast they would fly. So while they were off playing with their airplanes, I decided to get some house work done.(i know...A miracle....it seems with working part time and running a business/primary/chauffeuring to and from preschool etc.....i feel like my house is a war zone)I am cleaning away when all of a sudden i hear this upstairs...

Mr.C: "HOLY SH@@....this jet is soo fast..this jet is the fastest one ever!He tells his buddy how awesome this jet is.

I wasn't sure i heard this correctly. I was thinking.." no i dont think he just said that." well..ok... maybe he did. I calmly called up to Mr.C...

Me: " hey... MR C....Will you come down here..I would like to talk to you." (he came down the stairs.)"What did you just say?"

Mr.C: " kinda laughing, he says "i didnt say anything mom". The way his tone of voice was i could tell he was embarrassed.

Me: "..um Mr.C i dont think i heard nothing..i want to know what it is you said"

Mr.C ..."ummmm you know what i said mom...i was just sooo excited for this plane..and it is the best one ever...it flies sooo fast. I just love it. I said "holy Sh$@" because it is sooo cool and flies sooo fast."

So in the meantime i am trying not to laugh because i thought it was hilarious...I cant let him see that i am internally laughing..so I proceed tell him we do not swear. It is not OK...and that The word he used was not an OK word to say. I then tell him that since he knows what he said is now a "badword" then needs to just not to say it at all..I tell him the next time i hear it, he will get pepper on his tongue..(one of my techniques i use for his backtalking or smart mouthing)

Mr.C apologizes..gives me a hug and then runs right back up to fly his super "JET"!

So morale of this story...

I need to be very careful with the words that "sometimes" happen to come out of my mouth! It looks like I have lots of little ears listening...I would like to think that i did inherit this trait from my grandmother...but hey, at at least it runs in the family, Right! hahahahaha

For my dad and mom:

(dad/mom....hahaha this is my child isn't he..do you think gramma is looking down from heaven right now laughing at us? )

That's so funny! We want one of your Holy Shee airplanes..

Dallen says" what a jackass". The sad thing is he learned it from me. I didn't even know I was saying it until he started using the word. I guess I need to get the pepper out and apply to my tongue. Give the boys big hugs and kisses.

Mom OT

That is HILARIOUS!!!!

Nick and Amera

That is actually a really cute story shauna! You need to post pictures of these planes so I can be as cool of a mom like you! McCoy would love me if I made these cool planes for him, HE WOULD LOVE THEM! Anyway, about the swearing thing...I am guilty. Infact the other day I walked into our house just to find it totally flooded. I immediatly cried out, "oh shi@" and McCoy said right after me, "oh shi@" What sensitive little ears they have. I really do think these little babies come down here mainly to perfect thier devilish parents. No kidding when I say we are evil but thanks to our kids we might have a chance to be saved!
I totally loved that story!!! I really am interested in these little paper airplanes that actually fly!!!

What a great idea, paper airplanes. Oh, the pepper is a good idea to try too. Any tips on stopping a hitter turning scratcher? I'm with you girl on watching what you say. hilarious though!

Bonnie P.

I bet grandma Dunn was laughing at this one. I can still hear her say, "Do as I say, not as I do!" Still love you even with all the words that I didn't realize you even knew he he he.i

POND FAMILY

Oh I love your boys!!! You know I am just as guilty with those kind of words as you are!!
So I am so excited to see you guys!! We will have to have airplane races!! That would be Awesome and a good way to show me how to make them!!

Tonya

I am so offended. NOT! You are so funny Shauna:0) One day Sophia yelled' "damn it!". I knew I was the guilty one on that, so we made a pact to not say naughty words, even when we are frusterated. I'm doing better, but still not perfect. Sigh!

Fiona took our Mormon swearing a bit too far and with her own sort of twist to it. When she was four, her big thing was, "What the heck of crying out loud." Awesome.
