Until she said something that at first I didn’t understand.

How could I have?


Being a little tired and age helps, I asked her to repeat it. Again and again. I had to ask her to pronounce her sentence a dozen times. With a little distance, I think that my brain simply didn’t want to hear, not accept the translation of sounds that came out of the mouth of my adorable little love.

"Piss off, Daddy".

It was really that. It’s not a nightmare, it’s real, I’m not dreaming. So, calm down, everything’s okay, I found my exorcism manual,  so normally the trick should work, I won't be treated like a prostitue (for the cinephiles who remember the dialogue)…

So, I investigated. And there, I learned that her adorable 5-year old cousin (Laeticia¹) was the one who taught her that delicate expression.
 

You say to yourself, so, all that for this!!!.

Yes. Except my daughter is 2 years old.

Next step, Laeticia told her how she stole string underpants, the size for ten-year-olds, at the corner store. Please God, let Time take its toll and spare my daughters from the ravages of “society’s evolution”!!!
