Those Freakin' Wise Men!

Katharine was playing with the Little People Nativity (she hasn't quit since we got it) the other morning as the bigger kids were getting ready for school.

One of the Wise Men had fallen off of the table and I said to her, "Kate, pick up that Wise Man and put him back with the others, please." She obeyed and as she was sitting him back up with the other figurines she said with much exasperation, "He's not a Wise Man mom, I told you that before! He's a FREAKING!"

Because I was currently occupied with putting Olivia's snow pants on, I turned slowly waiting to hear the rest of her sentence...before I admonished her for using such inappropriate language.

But as I waited those few seconds, I realized that FREAKING was the end of her sentence. "What did you say Kate? He's a freakin' what?" She exclaimed, "A Free-King"

OH! A 'three king'! Got it.
