About tonight's Modern Family

Have you seen all of the fuss about tonight's episode of Modern Family? 
Can I just say that's insanely stupid?! I mean honestly, I don't care how good of a Christian or parent you are, your kids are ALWAYS going to say something that will embarrass you!
Just read Joann's comment on my last post about her little girl saying "duck" only she couldn't say D and said it with an F.
When my Paddycake was just wee toddler, I dropped something on my foot and out came "Sonofa", leaving off the last part because he was learning to talk and I was trying to watch my language. Well from behind me up piped a small "Bitch", finishing the sentiment for me.  It was all I could do not to bust out laughing.  
That's just the way kids are! Tonight's Modern Family is just a reflection of something that has happened in every household in America if they would only be honest and laugh about it!  From what I've read the little girl's mouth will be pixelized and the offensive word bleeped.  And it's not like this show is aired in the family hour of 8 P.M.  Get over yourself and move on.

If it's Thursday it must be Meow Meow!

So my precious baby girl is 20 months old.  She is just as feisty as her mama, maybe a little bit more so due to the whole sibling rivalry thing.   You would think since there is such a large gap in ages that there wouldn't be but kids it's there and awful!! If Paddycake gets near me to hug me when she is sitting on my lap she will push him away or kick him away.  She's so little and sweet looking but she is hell on wheels.  Most days I have a really hard time not laughing out loud at her antics.  She has been a lifesaver for me from the bleakness of last year. 
So anyhoo, she's talking now.  We don't understand a lot of what she says but she states it with such firm conviction that we have no choice but to agree with her cute little self. 
She quickly learned to address the felines of the house as Meow Meow's. 
But now EVERYTHING and I do mean EVERYTHING is a Meow Meow. 
Granny & Papaw got her a rocking horse for Christmas.  She stood in front of it and yelled "MEOW, MEOW, MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!"  
I gently told her "Baby girl, it's a horsey." 
"MEOW MEOW"
"No sweetie, it's a horse.  The horse says 'neigh neigh'", at this time, I feel myself becoming a See N' Say. 
She hugged the horse and said "Meow meow". 


I decided I wasn't going to win that argument, and she distracted herself with something else. 

To date here is a partial list of the things she is calling Meow Meow:
 Z-magnet with a picture of a zebra
 Bobble head Santa
 Rubber Duckie
 Dallas the Border Collie

This list is only partial because I'm slowly losing what teensy little shred of sanity I have left.  She's such a precious gift, I just hope this phase doesn't last too long and we can get her to learn a new word.
