I bet you have never heard the expression, “I hate your face,” until today. Well in our household it is a very common expletive that Tiara yells to different people throughout the day at least 20 times, starting first thing in the morning. When we first heard it we couldn’t help but laugh because where could she have possibly picked up that phrase? Usually she picks up certain terminology from movies or her older sister, Tabitha. Unfortunately Tabitha has a rather foul mouth like her mother and has an array of expressions she shares with her sisters on a daily basis.
A typical morning in the Goff house goes something like this: Trinity wakes up between 6:00 and 6:30 am and heads to the family room and plops herself in the corner seat of the sectional. She then tries putting on Sponge Bob, which I hate so the second I hear the TV I get up whether I want to or not. I walk out, say good morning and immediately change the channel to the news as she sighs We don’t let her watch cartoons in the morning, as she has a television addiction and if she starts the day off with Sponge Bob or some Disney show, it is like her head is in the clouds all day long.
I quickly try to make my espresso before TT gets up but I am usually not quick enough. Out stumbles Tiara from her bed and she walks directly into the kitchen even though her eyes are barely open. She flings open the refrigerator door and starts pulling out the humus, apple juice and guacamole. Normally a few things spill at which time she makes her way over to the pantry and starts getting out crackers and tortilla chips. I usually start yelling “stop, wait, I will get it for you, just sit down at the bar.” She will eventually wobble over to the bar stool, sit down and rest her head on the counter because she is still so tired but refuses to sleep anymore.
Trinity usually jumps up and tries to kiss Tiara and then says in the sweetest voice like she is talking to a baby “morning buddy, how are you today?” Tiara always replies, “Go Away!” Trin then tries again. “Are you tired buddy, did you have a bad sleep?” “Go Away!” I always say “Tt, be nice! Trinity, just ignore her” Trinity is used to the abuse and usually doesn’t take it personal, so she just retreats to her spot on the couch.
Sometime after Tiara has started eating, Tabitha will emerge from her room and walk into the kitchen looking for us. She too will say in a sweet voice to Tiara,
“Hi, T, love you, give Tabi a kiss.” As she goes in for the kiss, Tt swats her away and says “I hate your face.” Tabitha tries one more time for a kiss by literally bear hugging Tiara so tight she can’t move. Tiara refuses to give into to the hug and tries to grab her hair or kick Tabitha to free herself from the hug. After the physical encounter ends, Tiara continues to yell “ I hate your face” over and over again as Tabitha replies with her favorite phrase ” EAT A BAG OF SH*T, Tiara“
Trinity immediately jumps into the argument by reprimanding Tabitha as she walks out of room by saying, “Tabitha you are so rude! Don’t talk like that to Tiara.” Tabitha slams her bedroom door, and Lou finally gets out of bed to find out what all the commotion is about?
I relay the story to him and his response is, “Oh, so everything is normal?“
“Yes, darling it is.”
So if you are looking for a new rude expletive feel free to borrow Tiara’s favorite, I hate your face, or if you want to be really vulgar, try Tabitha’s. It might really turn some heads. Can you even believe I am admitting what trash mouths my girls have? Like mother like daughter, so embarrassing. The funny thing is that I never ever swore when Tabi was a little girl but by the time Trinity was born, my truck driver mouth had returned. Guess, the stress got to me and clearly I am not perfect, even though I like to pretend I am.
Thank goodness it is the weekend, hope you have a fabulous one!!!
