Before you get all up in arms, please note that she cannot turn the TV on herself, which used to be our surefire way of monitoring what she was doing. However, she's a PRO at the iPad. Disney Junior app, anyone? Luckily Disney Junior is a pretty safe choice, so we don't worry too much.
A few mornings ago I was helping Addi get her bag ready for school when I heard Sam mutter something. And it sounded a lot like "Get off the couch, deadbeat!"
After the record screeching sound stopped going off in my head, I asked her what she said. She looked at me, innocently, and said, "Get off the couch, dead feet?"
After correcting her insult (I don't want her calling someone deadfeet - that would just be embarrassing) I talked to her about how that was a mean thing to say and she couldn't say it anymore. She got all teary-eyed and said, "But the birds said it on ANT Farm [a show on Disney Junior]."
Seriously, can't a kid watch too much TV without negative repercussions these days? Geesh.
