I could hear Mia throwing a fit upstairs – obviously ticked off at Chase.
When I went to the foot of the stairs, Mia came flying down, intent on justice being served.
“What happened Pooh Bear?” I asked.
“Chase just said the SH word Mom! He yelled at Gabe and me and said the SH word!”
Since I had been in the kitchen and hadn’t heard raised voices, this didn’t make sense.
“Why would Chase say the SH word?” I asked.
“I don’t know Mom – he was yelling at us to be quiet!”
“Mia, what did Chase SAY exactly?”
“He said SHUT UP Mom! That starts with SH, right?” Mia stared at me with wide, innocent eyes…
My heart melted and I gave her a big hug.
…with chicken “pops”!
a.k.a. chicken pox…
a.k.a. bug bites she’s itched to the point where they need bandaids. 
I just don’t have the heart to correct her – she’s very concerned about it, LOL.
