watch what you say

Braxton has finally reached the age where you have to be very careful about what for you say. For one he will repeat what you say, and two he will ask why you said it and what it means.  So far we haven't had too much of a problem with embarassing word (even though my potty mouth comes out now and then), but we have had him repeat, in propper context, phrases we use.

About a week ago we took a family shopping trip, and on the way Brett stopped to get us drinks.  When he came out of the gas station he had drinks for him and I and not Braxton, thinking he had juice.  Well Braxton looks at him and says "Daddy I thought you were getting me a Bug Juice?"  So the Hubby goes back into the station for a bug juice.  When he hands it to Braxton, Braxton looks at him and say "Well that's better."  At this point I am trying very hard not to bust out laughing, becasue that is not the way we want him talk to people.  So Brett looks at him and says "Do I at least get a thank you?"  Braxton politely says "thank you" and Brett responds with "That's better".  At this point I have tears coming out of my eyes while doing all I can not to laugh out loud.  Then my Husbad looks at me and says, "you know he gets that attitude from you."
I just smiled and said, "what did you say after he thanked you",  He thought for a second, put his down and just kept driving. 

I LOVE IT!!
