FRIDAY THIS AND THAT---A NEW WORD FOR YOUR DICTIONARY

 Now - before I start this I want you to 

remember something-
I do NOT SWEAR on my blog-
I just don't.

I don't like to offend anyone
SO-if you are 
EASILY OFFENDED
you might want to move to another blog today.
However,
I think MOST OF YOU will see
the humor in this.

My son was about 3-1/2 and he was standing
outside with the neighbor
(who he called GRUMP-PA for obvious reasons)
when a rescue squad went by.
Apparently, GRUMPpa said-
There goes that damn ambulance.
Here is your 
NEW WORD for FRIDAY.

DAMBULANCE!
It is composed of TWO WORDS
Damn & Ambulance.
Mama's Boy thought that was the 
REAL NAME of this!
He would say...
Look, Mama!
Here comes the DAMBULANCE!

He was a REAL HIT in church school!
It took us TWO YEARS to convince him
that it was JUST an
AMBULANCE!

So--YOU can choose whether (or not) 
you would like
to incorporate this 
NEW WORD
into your vocabulary this week.

You all have a great day.
I am going out to try and eradicate some
DAMDELIONS!

LOL, Love it. I can't tell you how many dambulances go by at work every day.
I'm the same on my blog. I keep all the swear words off.

Oh that's funny. Kids always pick up on the things we DON'T want them to pick up, and often avoid the things we DO want them to pick up! Language, manners, clothes on the floor, toys, lol, among others. This was so cute. Our then 2 or 3 yr. old grandson Noah heard his uncle say "stupid". So he thought it was an okay word, and suddenly everything was "stupid", until his parents got tired of hearing it and told him it wasn't really a nice word and they didn't want to hear him saying it anymore. But of course, since he'd heard his Uncle Scott say "stupid", he thought it must be a good word, until he was punished for it. A few weeks later when we talked to our grandson on the phone from their home back in Maine, his Uncle Scott also got on the phone to talk to him, and the first thing he said was, "Uncle Scott, you said "stupid", and that's a naughty word!" Uncle Scott was of course apologetic for saying such a "naughty word", and said later to us that he was glad Noah didn't hear him say some of the other words that he says... Good lesson to learn for all of us!! LOL. This was great, and not stupid at all. LOL.
