Riley said "ain't" in a sentence today and I corrected her.
"It's not the best choice of word. Unless you are kidding, you know, using it deliberatley."
"Why Mommy?"
"Well if you use it a lot, people assume you're not that smart."
She pauses for a second, thinking, eyes looking up to the right, toward the ceiling, then says,
"But it's okay for Sandy (from Sponge Bob) to say it, right? 'Cause she's from Texas."

Yes. It's OK for Sandy.
Anytime I corrected my son's grammar he'd ask - "why don't you want people to know we're from Brooklyn!?"
I don't think I ever answered that question.
From the mouth of babes.
Lol.
I do believe the kid is on to something.
I'm still stuck on what's wrong with ain't????
Love.

How about Richard from Texas (in Eat, Pray, Love). I think it's okay for him to say it, too.
Richard from Texas is my hero!
"She's fucking with you Groceries!"
WooHoo for Richard from Texas. Best line ever:
"The problem with you, Groceries, is that you got your wishbone where your backbone ought to be."
You should get Riley together with Richard. Talk about quotable quotes!!
Love Riley. Irrefutable logic.
Besides, Texas is big enough to be it's own country so it is entitled to its own rules.
And, ditto Jerri.
Hysterical! I'm from Texas (delivered from Texas is what I tell people), and NO offense taken.
Your kids are awesome!
totally LOL!!! She is brilliant.
