Nice to see you back!

I remember having to purge certain phrases from my vocabulary when I had kids. I guess Glorfindel will have to do the same, since he seems to spend a lot of time with the twins.

Author Reply: Thank you for the welcome! It seems ages since I last wrote anything worth publishing :(

Glorfindel must *really* learn to watch his tongue - the twins soak up words like sponges!

LOL! I imagine Elrond had a talk with Glorfindel shortly after this little scene. Fun drabble!

Author Reply: You could be right!

Glorfindel really needs to watch what he says in front of the twins :)

Something tells me Calebrian is going to have a few words with Glorfindel that will warm his ears up for him, if nothing else!

Ah--fun to see these here, too. Yes, children will repeat the most awful things they've heard at the most inopportune times! Heh! Poor Celebrian, to hear such things from her beloved babes, who are already being corrupted by an indiscrete reborn Elf! Heh!

Author Reply: Elrond and Celebrían probably won't be that shocked - they know Glorfindel too well!

LOL! Do you know how hard it is not to *snork* and waken the child sleeping on the couch nearby...?

I need to head to bed myself, but thanks for the nightcap.

Author Reply: LOL! I hope you didn't wake anyone :)

Author Reply: The trouble is, Elrohir adores Glorfindel and thinks he can do no wrong :>)

oh my! what glorfy said and the little one repeated! LOL! love it!

Author Reply: Glorfindel needs to learn what he says around the twins - Elrohir has a habit of quoting unfortunate comments :)

And in the midst of the humor of the appalling parental moment is that marvelous phrase "the runic prints of birds."

Author Reply: Thank you - that was my favourite line too :)

This one made me laugh. Every parent has had a moment when their kid uses language they might have preferred they be sheltered from.

When my son was learning to read, he'd read road signs in the car to prove to me what he could do. We passed a movie house where "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" was playing. He read right up to "whorehouse" and then said, "I don't know that word." Motherly decision moment, right? So I said, "whorehouse." And he repeated it and finished the movie title, but, not unreasonably, he thought I was saying "horrorhouse."

Author Reply: LOL! I remember you sharing that tale about your son before - probably the last time Elrohir repeated an inappropriate comment of Glorfindel's!

This is crazy! *lol* I can't stop laughing. :))))))))

Author Reply: Thank you! That was the intention :>)
