BEEP BEEP!

Nolen,
Oh man. It happened, and I hope you don't read this letter til your a bit older, like 30! So lately, when you get upset, frustrated, inpatient you either mumble or say quickly and abruptly "DAMN IT!" Now where on earth did you get that from?? Sadly, me. The first time you did it, I couldn't help but laugh...which of course you saw and thought it was funny afterwards. I have punished you by sending you to time-out and spanking. Its probably happened about 10 times now. Also the first time you did it your dad was very upset with me and gave me a look of dissapointment- so I have been trying so hard not to use that word or any other swear word in my vocabulary. I have been doing pretty good too! But unfortunatly you remember that word and use it here and there- when you're really upset. Tonight you did again when you were trying to turn off the T.V. with the remote and it didn't work. You said it and your dad and I tried so hard not to laugh and turn the other way- but of course you saw us and laughed too. We still sent you to time out- so not working! I feel awful for teaching you such a bad word, and not being able to fix it! It is pretty much the cutest thing though when you do say it. That's why we laugh. You wouldn't typically expect a 2 year old to say that word. So needless to say- I HOPE this will pass and I HOPE you will stop saying this word forever because it will make me look real bad soon enough...but secretly it is so adorable when you do it. PLEASE don't say it anymore DAMN IT!

I love you to pieces.
LOVES,
Mom
