The other day, L.(5) was musing about a recent kids’ movie. We haven’t seen the movie, but he has seen the merchandise, the themed fruit snacks, etc. and is well aware of it. I overheard the following conversation between L. and my teen, C.(13).
And let me tell you, it just warmed my heart.
**
L.: I think we should go see that movie.
C.: Well, I’m not sure that movie would be appropriate for a 5-year-old.
L.: Why not? Are there some really scary parts in it?
C.: No, I don’t think so.
L.: Then, what? Is there bad grammar?
**
Score one for grammar geeks! (That’d be me.)
Okay, so it’s possible that when L. said “bad grammar,” he was actually thinking more, um, globally, and meant something akin to “bad words” instead of just “bad grammar.”
But still, the mere fact that those words would come out of his mouth, and that he would sound somewhat horrified at the prospect of bad grammar has to count for something.
Right?
LOL! I’ll count it, sure! ;D hahahahaha!!
I had to laugh at this. I’m sure my boss thinks I’m crazy, laughing in my cube.
But I can honestly say, I’m not too surprised to hear that sort of thing from one of your kids. I’d probably be let down if it never happened!
LOL this is hilarious!!
Ok, that is totally awesome! I love it when my boys ask these questions, too! Of course they’ve never used the word “grammar” before! LOL

Just the laugh I needed today… Bad Grammar.
You don’t remember Art Linkletter and “Kids say the Darndest things”, he would love it. I do, too.
And you ARE raisung your kids right! ! !
Fabulous! As the daughter of an English teacher, I am a second-generation grammar nazi… I’m sure my kids will be next!
Way to go, Katrina!!! That is definite proof!
bwah, ha, ha, love it!
Thanks for the chuckle. And yes, you definitely deserve Mom points for the fact that your kids know what grammar is.
Ha!! That’s awesome. But it is neat to hear how they interact and encourage each other.
That poor boy!
I love this on so many levels. Brothers are truly the best. CLASSIC kid line! Just the chuckle I needed. Thanks, friend!!!
LOVE!
