My Cussin' Kid

Evelyn has learned a new and interesting word. "Bee-otch", yes the current colloquial mispronunciation of the word b-i-t-c-hum hum. I haven't been able to put a real stop to it because , well, frankly every time she says it, I laugh my butt off. I can't help it, it's so funny. Just think of that little voice yelling out bee-otch forcefully and gleefully. No. Really. It's funny. Eveln Leslie nearly blew out his Circle of Willis trying not to laugh at her and then he did not succeed and this was while driving and we nearly wrecked the truck because I was in no shape to grab the wheel. That particualr time she was just going:
E - "Mama?"
Me- "yes Evelyn"
E- " BEEE-OTCH!"
Me- "strangle gurgle snort"
E- "Papa?"
Les- "yeah baby?"
E- " BEEE-OTCH!!!!"
Les- "strangle gargel snort"
truck- veer bumpity bumpity.......
Then we both lost it and laughed out loud and then Ev laughed outloud and that has been it.
Now she says things like "Mama?- I'm hungry bee-otch!" and I laugh and feed her when I recover.
Clearly I am a bad mother.
