Jesus and Ethan
About a week ago, for no real reason we can discern Ethan started using a particular name as an expletive. It was very sudden, as all language ability expansions are with two year olds. One minute he was grunting when angry and the next we would hear him shout "Jesus!" when he dropped a Lego truck and shattered on the ground. It was pretty hard to ignore the first few times. Eventually Bianca and I would have to hide our faces as a two and half foot tall little sailor walked through the house unleashing dropping "JESUS!" all of the time.
It morphed from an expletive to something he would just pop off.
Ethan: "Daddy you pass me ketchup?"
Me: "Once second buddy, I am cutting up Isaac's steak"
Ethan: "Jesus!"
Or
Ethan: "Daddy you wipe my butt?"
Me: "Sure, bend over."
Ethan: "I no want to bend over."
Me: "Then I can't wipe your butt."
Ethan: "Jesus, Daddy!"
For two days we were so struck by this little tiny boy saying Jesus all of the time that we could hardly focus. Then Bianca decided to try to get him to swap out "Jesus" for "Geez Louise." It stuck and since then, Beeth has been letting one "Geez Louise" fly after another. This supports my long-held theory that if Beeth knew swear words we'd hear them A LOT.
