It sounded like she was sort of swearing and I thought maybe she was imitating something she heard. So, I leaned over and asked her to repeat her statement. It came out loud and clear again, with much gusto this time "Oh, Jesus!". She smiled sheepishly and said that, that's what Brother bear said in the Berenstain Bears book titled "Trouble with Friends". What? "No, Sydney, I'm sure there's no mention of Jesus in that book", I added confidently.
I stopped doing dishes and went over to find the library book. We found the page she was referring to and lo and behold, to my relief, she was quoting the statement "Aw, gee, Sis" (when Brother bear apparently didn't want to join in on the tea party invitation).
It definitely reaffirmed that I should be always aware of what my kids read and listen to. But, I should not be too quick to jump to conclusions either and be careful to put on my parent ears!!
