The other day for no particular reason Tyler looked at me and said, “Shut up, Mommy.” I was shocked at my three-year-old’s language. Where had he learned that from? We didn’t say “shut up” at home. Was a teacher at daycare telling him to “shut up”?
I said, “Tyler, saying “shut up” to someone is a bad thing to say and we don’t say that to anyone. Where did you learn this?” And he looked at me innocently and said, “Bugs Bunny.” I realized that he had seen the Bugs Bunny cartoon Bugs and Thugs, which also has given us the classic quote “Shut up shuttin’ up”.
Truthfully this is one of my favorite Bugs cartoons. It’s hard to be angry when your child picks up a phrase so innocently. I just hope he doesn’t try to hit me with an anvil from Acme products in the future.

About mamasick
Emily Cullen is a pen-name. A former local radio personality for seven years, I still remain active in the voiceover business. My husband, “Grant”, and I have been married since 2002 and have already experienced the “worse, “poorer, ” and “sickness ” of marriage. We both suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases which have progressed. My diseases include Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and most, recently and seriously, Lupus.
Despite all of the challenges we have faced, we were able to have a little boy, “Tyler,” born in September of 2006, which is the best thing to ever happen to us. Tyler has been classified as a “special needs” child with diagnoses which include Anxiety, OCD, and Tourette’s Syndrome. We also share our home with two cats.
We live in New Jersey and I enjoy reading fiction and learning more about taking care of my son. Before my son, I used to enjoy watching movies…watching television for that matter! Before Lupus I enjoyed fine dining and fine wine.
No longer able to work, I am now wondering, “What will I do with the rest of my (somewhat) young life?” Blogging sounds like a good start!
Oooh, we have ‘fricken fracken’ over here from that, and Rosey busts out with ‘tarnation’ every once in awhile….
