So my wife is out of town on a business trip. I am at home with my 3 3/4 year old daughter. Tonight after dinner and reading a few books I told her its time to get ready for bed-ya know the routine, brush teeth, PJ's etc. So tonight while brushing her teeth I remind her that she needs to spit and rinse. Well she goes ahead and spits some toothpaste into the sink, in the process spits it mostly on her hand. I chuckled a bit and she looked at me and said most seriously "Oh shit!!!"
I lost it, normally when she says something like this (ya know something she's not supposed to say) I try to keep a straight face and explain to her that some things are not nice to say. This time I couldn't even try to keep a straight face, I just about died laughing. Me laughing got her laughing and if you didn't know, hearing your child laugh is one of the purest forms of joy on the face of the planet. It was a precious father/daughter moment brought on by "oh shit!"
