He didn't hear it from me, and that's all I have to say about it.
I'll be having a talk with Tadd later.

He didn't hear it from me.....
Today Harrison was helping me make popcorn, though he's perfectly capable doing it by himself for a special treat I let the kids add a handful of chocolate chips to the popcorn. As Harrison was heaving my giant 6 Liter container of chocolate chips onto the counter I cautioned him to please be careful. He shot back, "yeah, that would be a big damn-it, huh mom." I tried to hold back a choke of laughter and asked him what a damn-it was. "You know, when you spill a lot of something or make a big mess, it's a damn-it!" He said it so matter of fact that I couldn't argue, and just told him maybe we better find a different term to describe a big spill. I turned my head and tried my hardest not to let him see me laughing.

You've got to love those moments when you realize your kids hear EVERYTHING you say, or in this case that Tadd says:)
I'm so impressed that you were able to keep a straight face... didn't you have some babysitters staying with those cuties for a while, you may need to speak to them as well... hmmmm.....
I am a terrible example. I have been caught saying that very term on two separate occasions. Now jack says "dammert" whenever he drops a toy, or trips. Though it's completely inappropriate, I can't help but chuckle a little under my breath...it's something we're working on!
I'm sure harrison will be fine...maybe you will have to have the talk about "john wayne" words with him!
I guess I'll have to stop watching "John Wayne" movies.

Funny, we have those same kind of spills at my house! I love it when kids start picking up on all our little oopsies.
It has been clarified to me by the babysitters that I inappropriately incriminated that Harrison did not in fact hear those particular terms from them. This would be my official retraction of said accusations.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a spouse who uses colorful language.
