Language Leakage
(I’m hanging out at my sister’s house. I observe from the couch as my sister walks into the room.)
Sister: *to her husband* “Did you put [2-year-old daughter] to sleep?”
Sister’s Husband: “Yes.”
Sister: “Did you check her diaper before?”
Sister’s Husband: “*pause* “No.”
(She sighs and walks into her daughter’s room. She walks back in carrying her, and glares at her husband. She points to a stain on the girls PJs.)
Sister: “Good work. She freakin’ leaked!”
Daughter: *in imitation anger* “I freakin’ leaked!”
