Author Summary: Torren learns a few new words from Teyla's teammates.

For any parent of a toddler, the ever threat of a swearing child is a daunting prospect they all face. It's embarrassing for the parent, but funny has heck for everyone else. Enter Teyla, mother of just such a child and a woman desperate for some adult time with Kanaan. So she comes up with the idea that her teammates can babysit occasionally, right? With just such a premise, the hilarity starts to roll as Toren's vocabulary grows in leaps and bounds. Just not in the way Teyla wants it to! As Teyla's exasperation grows and her teammate's efforts to "fix" Torren's swearing don't work, the reader will not be able to stop the belly-rolling laughter from escaping. Liketheriver manages to lace together every parent's nightmare into a hilarious piece of Stargate Atlantis fiction. You'll twitch. You'll chuckle. And you'll fall on the floor in laughter at this funny piece of ficcage.

 

Torren was almost fourteen months old, walking easily around their quarters and playing with one of the wooden pull-toys Halling had carved for him when the undulating worm-shaped toy became twisted around a chair leg. Before Teyla could walk across the room to help her son who was growing increasingly agitated and frustrated with his toy, he kicked it and exclaimed, "Fuck!"

Teyla gasped at the outburst, stopping in her tracks in surprise. Her child, her precious innocent baby boy, had just cursed in front of her and he couldn’t even put a sentence together. His entire vocabulary was limited to a handful of words and now that was one of them. And that had her eyes that were wide open in shock narrowing dangerously.

Swinging Torren up onto her hip, Teyla stormed down the hall to Rodney’s lab where she knew he and John would be playing video games. Once there, she pushed her son into John’s hands. John looked at her in confusion that only grew when she told him, "You will fix this."
