You're the what?

Most everyone knows what I am talking about when I say "the rocky pose."  The victory stance made famous by one Sylvester Stallone in the great and only "Rocky."  Now, I would like to preface this post by saying this; Jack has never seen Rocky.  At least, not so far as I am aware.

On to the story.  In a previous post I mentioned how my son became fond of a little four letter word that started with 's'.  He said it with a slight lisp, then just went to to saying it straight out.  He loves to talk, and uses a variety of words, but I tend to slip that word more often than I probably should.  Well, since our little moment with the "....", I have worked really, really, really hard to say other things.  Oh my goodness.  Good glory.  Gosh.  Heck.  The typical fillers in a society of "don't swear, think of something else to say."  I agree with said statement, but I am far from perfect when it comes to some situations.

Now, as for that four letter word.  Cole stayed home sick on Monday.  A very rare occasion.  I myself wasn't feeling that great, so the day consisted of pj's, soup and movies.  Jack seemed to enjoy the fact that both mom and dad were home, and neither seemed to have the energy to keep up with him.  While we watched our movies, Jack would go from sitting down with us, to playing with his cars, to jumping off things.  His preferred point from which to jump was a small laundry basket, flipped upside down.  He would turn it over, climb up onto it, then jump to the floor commando style.  Now back to Rocky...

After multiple jumps, Jack proceeded once again to climb up onto the upside down basket.  Let me tell you.  Kids?  They just say the darndest things!  Just like in the movie, Jack ran around, climbed the basket, reached both arms skyward, fists clenched, and yelled for all the world to hear, "I'm the shit!"
I was shocked.
First of all.  What?!  My two year, 5 month and 21 day old son just said WHAT?!  Cole looked at me, laughing, and said, "Did you hear what he just said!?"  Why, yes, I did, but I have absolutely no idea where he got it from.  We both couldn't stop laughing, which of course encouraged the Rocky impersonation.  

As I said, not so perfect mother here.  I have said "s" word before, a previous blog post would attest to such.  I am with Jack every day.  Almost all day, every day.  He has never seen Rocky.  He has never heard, nor used, the saying "I'm the ....".  I doubt I will ever know where it came from.  I know I am the one that planted the little $@*& seed.  I will never forget that day, it was so funny.  So funny.  But?
Clearly, I need to work on my gee whiz's, and golly garsh's more.
