 Posted: 12/06/04 - 18:14 Post subject: How am I going to explain this???
My husband has the tendency to speak in front of my son before he thinks sometimes. Mind you, this is the ONLY time in life he does this because in front of adults he is very politically correct. I guess he doesn't realize what a big mouth 5-yr olds can have.
So, about a month ago he made a comment about this 10-yr old girl in the neighborhood saying that she is "dirty." Well, the little girl is just the nicest thing and is always very polite so when he said that I made him aware of how nice she was. This "rebuttal" made no difference to my son. All he heard was that she was dirty.
Today my son and I came home from the store and saw her in the parking lot. She came over and said "hi," etc. Then my son (not having a clue) said "My dad said you were dirty!" OMG!!! I could have died right there. 
Now I have to have a "chat" with my husband and hope he doesn't get pi$$ed at my son for something he was honestly clueless about.
UGH!

I'm glad you all think this is so funny! 
I told my husband about it when he called and he tried to blame ME on it! 
Oh well, 3 glasses of wine later I don't really care.

We are always careful what we say around the kids, and if they hear something like you described, we try and explain what we mean/meant.

What did Mr. Dives originally mean? That she needed a bath, or she talked like a sailor (and would readily fit into Riff Raff)? Something else?
