Act I Scene I: Bright and early on a Saturday morning. A bleary-eyed Hope is unloading the dishwasher while her daughter “helps.”
LJ: Mama! [points]
The dishwasher pod is still sitting in the dishwasher. The dishwasher ran all the way through, but no soap was dispensed. Hope has just put away half a dishwasher worth of dirty dishes.
Hope: Fuck!
LJ: Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!
Hope: (inwardly) Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
[End Scene.]
Act I Scene II: Later on that same day, LJ drops her water bottle on the ground.
Kristian: Did she just say fuck?
Hope: Uhhhhhhhh…. let me tell you a little story…
[fin.]
But she used it in the correct context. I say, that’s a win for comprehension.
So true! The only thing worse than a toddler with a potty mouth is a toddler with a potty mouth who uses her words all wrong!
