Broke out the cattle prod to nip this one in the bud!

Since they're switching back and forth between three languages it's inevitable that S and B have moments when they mix up vocabulary. Even so I had to shudder this evening when B referred to our friend's husband as her "owner".

Oh god! Have to admit that cracked me up. If only it wasn't the other way around - I'd be heralding you for striking a blow for feminism...Um, M doesn't read your blog comments does he?

Nope. As his "owner" I don't let him... ;-)

Hhahahaha - loved that retort! Much needed comic relief for me too. I'm inconsolable. It's nearly 9pm SATURDAY NIGHT and I'm no where near finished with my pleading. I want to cry - means a full day of this tomorrow, which means no time for class project - did I mention I want to cry? All because G cannot go more than 5 seconds without talking to me, herself, the wall, random passersby all day, every day....*sigh* enough break. back to salt mines...
