Oops...

Tonight Creighton and Colby were having some sort of tiff. I usually don't step in to referee until I can't take anymore. Typically, they figure it out before then anyway. But, tonight they were sitting at the table waiting for dinner and exchanging some words and then the name-calling started. Creighton was very frustrated and angry at his sister. I'm not even sure what the spat was about. But, Creighton gritted his teeth and in a very irritated tone he mustered up the worst thing he could possibly think of at the moment and through clenched teeth he said to his sister "YOU OLD FART"! Colby laughed and said "did you hear what he called me mom?!"

Yes, Colby I did. And I have a feeling that he may have heard that phrase said in anger before. Like possibly when we are in a hurry to get somewhere and I inevitably get behind some old fart going 40mph on the highway in a no passing zone. I have been known to get a little impatient behind the wheel.

Oops, not a nomination point for mommy of the year. Oh well, I wasn't in the running anyway :)
