Looks like the "Mother's curse" can also be the "Father's curse."  Very amusing.

What a riot - THANK YOU!  Hope there will be more sequels - please!!!

You're making me think of how my SIL used to try and convince my niece that Daddy sometimes brought "Army Talk" home with him, but that we should all ignore it and not repeat it. It worked about as well as Snape's interference probably will.What a wonderful, cute, fluffy story! It really had me giggling.

That was absolutely hysterical.  Yes, Little Pitchers do indeed have Very Big Ears!  As I'm reading this in the library, I had to react similarly to Hermione and try to muffle the peals of laughter. *g*

*GRIN"!  That's all I can say....

I LUV KID FICS...

Can't help it.  I'm a parent to.

Awww the memories.

My eldest was shy of 2.  We were on a family vacation with entire family.  My Mom and Sister's theme words "pissin' around".  Well dear Auntie asked her niece what her Uncle was doing and she said He's just pissin' around.  Everyone but my Hubby howled with laughter.  He said he didn't think that it was very funny and we shouldn't be laughing.

  Which made us laugh even harder.  Then Grandma person said Gwen you should not say pissin' around because it pisses your dad off.  Needless to say Hubby was very pleased for a short while.  Now every once in awile when the kids aren't around he says it.  I reprimand and he says well grandma says its okay..

Now the kids let the adults know they should be using sugar instead of those words.  lol 

Oh how absolutely perfect! And painfully, utterly truthful, children do this all the time. It's brilliant for our Sev though, you wrote him perfectly because he reacted just how I thought someone like him should!

Right, you really should put a warning on this, I choked on my coffee from laughter. Much thanks!

Oh that was wonderful.  So cute.  Snape being helpless and totally stymied by a 3 year old child that he obviously absolutely adores.

I am so glad that you did a piece telling us what happened after the momentous "I want a child" declaration from Hermione at the end of Snape, A history. 

You should've included a spray warning with this story. I've been giggling and trying to clean up the keyboard for the last five minutes. Nothing like a little pitcher to make life interesting. At least it was only in front of Hermione--my nephew did his "but daddy says it" foray into profanity in front of Grandpa the minister.

Very sweet and cute. It's so true that toddlers repeat words that they shouldn't.

Very funny, and so true! My son was four when we went to a children's museum with his pre-school class. Twenty mothers and their children sat in the welcoming room to listen to the lady in charge explain the rules to them. Five minutes into her speech my son stood up, said (in a loud clear voice, of course), "F**k this." And ran off to play. The woman next to me gasped and grabbed her chest as if to fend off a coming heart attack.I did the only thing I could do, I turned to the woman, smiled, and said (before taking off to find my wayward son) "What? You never heard that word before?" Needless to say, we had a very long talk on the way home.

I laugh so hard... it's the most charming tale I read in while. Love it!

 Awwwwwww...that is just too, too adorable for words!  Mairin (which is a lovely name) clearly has her father wrapped right around her tiny little finger.  Reminds me of a story I heard (supposedly true) of a little girl toddler who one day suddenly started rushing from room to room opening drawers and slamming them closed.  When her mother asked what she was doing, she responded that she was playing a game -- and when her mother then asked what this new game was called, her daughter answered that the game was called "where did I put my car keys?"

Oh, well done!  VERY amusing.  :)  I laughed out loud so much my cat meowed at me in irritation for disturbing her.  *snerk* 

*giggleGiggle* I remember my 3 year old daughter's first word.  My mother blamed me for it.  I never said it around her, though.  I claimed the new babysitter, who didn't last long at all, even w/o this incident.  My daughter was mad at me and called me a bitch.  Not a pretty sight.  She never said it again though.  :) A thump on the cheek immediately after saying it, along with a "Don't you ever say that again!" was all it took. 

*snicker*

  Just what I needed tonight-- a sweet story with a good laugh :)  I enjoyed Snape, A History (hm, should go review there, too) and this follow up is lovely. Thank you!

That is so true from the mouth of the adult to the childs ears...edventually you will hear it repeated no matter what it is.

Great job

GREAT STORY!!! i like the snape point of view : it makes his toughts both believable and endearing

So cute, thank you.
