Last week my two older sons and I spent a lot of quality time together. Hubby and youngest son were frolicking in Texas at the US Army All-American Bowl. I enjoyed this time with my two older boys, but I realized I am not as “hip” as I thought I was.

With each generation come their favorite slang sayings. For my generation we had:

Gag me with a spoon
Gnarly
grody to the max
Holy Cow, that’s, like, totally wicked, dude.
Where’s the beef?
and my favorite…. PSYCH!

Trying to keep up with my sons generation and their ever changing vocabulary is a challenge. I have heard:

Pimp
Murk
Git
Tighten up
Beast mode

Well one slipped passed me and I got caught “being old.” While attempting to get my two older boys to bed, they were goofing off with each other. I was only half  listening to them as they thought of every excuse to delay bedtime. Middle son was bragging about an accomplishment and oldest son responded, “you wanna a cookie.”

Being the hip Mom that I am, I turned around and said, “There will be no eating cookies right before bed!” My two boys immediately fell into big fits of laugher that took over 5 minutes to overcome. So I guess “you wanna a cookie” does not actually mean you want to eat a cookie. Who knew?

So what are some of the funny sayings you hear your kids saying around the house?
