I don’t know why it won’t go away, but I’m having an ever-increasing problem. My 5-yr old daughter Maddie is fascinated with saying the word “sexy.” She uses it for everything. She uses it to make her siblings laugh. She explains that she got it from a cartoon and when asked “Maddie, do you even know what that word means, she replies, “beautiful, lovely or nice.”
She walks around the house saying this is sexy or that is sexy. Initially I thought it was funny and fighting back laughter, I asked her to stop.
Sometimes she’ll just come up to me and say “Hey, sexxxxy mama!”
Maddie’s my “funny” child, the one everyone says “has been here before” or describes as “a little old lady.”
I know that this is just another of her phases and it will too pass as the others did. It just doesn’t seem to be waning as quickly as I’d like. If she’s not saying “Mom, you’re hot,” she’s asking, with her brilliant eyes smiling and her cheek dimpled, “Mom, are the sexy muffins ready yet?” I know she’s just trying to see my reaction. I try desperately to hold in all my amusement.
Her sense of humor seems so much bigger than she. She has us all looking at things in ways we never before did and everytime I bake muffins (which is often in our house), I smile inside thinking just how sexy these strawberry muffins really are.
