Anne Lamott Quote
My son, Sam, at three and a half, had these keys to a set of plastic handcuffs, and one morning he intentionally locked himself out of the house. I was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper when I heard him stick his plastic keys into the doorknob and try to open the door. Then I heard him say, Oh, shit. My whole face widened, like the guy in Edvard Munch's . After a moment I got up and opened the front door.Honey, I said, what'd you just say?I said, 'Oh, shit,' he said.But, honey, that's a naughty word. of us have absolutely got to stop using it. Okay?He hung his head for a moment, nodded, and said, Okay, Mom. Then he leaned forward and said confidentially, But I'll tell you why I said 'shit.' I said Okay, and he said, Because of the fucking keys!
