Shrek

Lately my boys have been on a huge Shrek kick. It is the only movie that they want to watch. While I enjoy that movie (or did) it gets old quick. I've been singing "Welcome to Dulock, it's a perfect place..." for days now.

Yesterday Eli was playing at a friends house. I called over there to see how things were going and his friends mom told me that while they were playing with Hot Wheels Eli said his car was "the fastest car on the whole damn planet." She even asked him to repeat it to make sure he had really said what she thought he said. Sure enough. Luckily this mom is a friend of mine and this is a house that Eli plays at a lot. She told me that she didn't say anything to Eli about it because she was trying really hard not to laugh.

Tonight when I was putting Eli to bed I asked him about it. I asked him if he remembered what he said and he didn't. I reminded him but said "whole damn earth" instead of planet. Apparently that sparked his memory because he promptly corrected me. I asked him where he learned that and he said "Off of Shrek. Donkey says that parfait is the best thing on the whole damn planet." Yep, I had forgotten that part. So not only is the movie annoying me but it's also teaching my 5 year old to swear. I should probably pay more attention to what I'm letting them watch.
