Our 2 year old has turned me into a huge nerd when it comes to expressions that I never thought would creep into my daily life. I imagined that when he started to put a baby spin on words or expressions that I would never let myself fall victim to those things outside of talking to him....
Example "Going night night" = Going to bed.
"Going pee pee" = Going to the bathroom.
"
Doesn't sound terrible? Well, it starts to make you feel like a total weirdo when you say it to friends when you aren't around your child - which was the case one night when a few people met up for happy hour, and I had to 'go pee pee'. Or when James and I finally decide to head upstairs to bed, and we are 'ready for night night'.
It makes me wonder if all moms have these clashes of worlds, and will it go away soon? I don't mind when it happens around other moms, but it has slipped out at times when I could only hope that the people I was with didn't hear me!
