Armed and Dangerous

It's funny how snippets of your children's language creep into your own. It makes sense. Lord knows they pick up plenty of profanity words from us. John and I still call cookies "coomies" thanks to Alice's initial pronunciation of the word. Sometimes we will just point to each other and say, "SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" because of Angela's early propensity to do so. Well, this evening Alice provided us with a verbal "thrown gauntlet" for when we are ready to battle.

I was relaxing and semi dozing on the couch while John and Alice played with her train set. Apparently, they were having a race. In the heat of the competition, Alice informed her father, "I'm going to kick your butt and I have a shoe." I am not sure if I should be horrified or amused. I am going with amused and forewarned. Beware, world. My four year old is equipped with footware and ready to rumble.
