Really? You don't know where she gets it from??

Then he told me, "You say it in the car!"

This one happened to my folks....

its Game night; Older brother is giving younger brother (about 2yrs) his bath before bed.....

"stupid bitch!"
"stupid bitch!"

Cue mom's embarrassment - and she excuses herself to go see what the matter is....
"where did you learn that language?"

"Daddy!"

"No, Daddy doesn't talk that way"

"yeah huh! In the car!"

"MR. Lawgiver*!"




*not his real name



my first swear word was apparently "Damn" - i had one of those wooden blocks, with the plastic shapes that you hammered from one side to the other (i was maybe 2) and i'd hammer the shapes going damndamndamndamndamndamn

to this day when something isn't going right its "damn! damn-damn-damn! damn damn double damn!"

for my "sister" its: fuck-fuck-fuckitdy-fuck-fuck-fuck!

I also wonder why people get so hung up on words.

We've always said that when we have kids they are going to need soundproof earmuffs for the car since hubbys language gets colourful whilst driving.

My parents rarely got colourful, but my brother did pick stuff up. He was a toddler strapped into a carseat when some other driver cut us off and my dad said "Stupid turkey!" Up pipes my brother from the back seat: "toopid turkey!" I think dad was even better at not swearing after that.

Hubby and I don't swear, at all (no, really), but we've still been coaching Daughter on using "nice" language. She will regularly correct both us and other people, even characters in the videos she watches, that "we don't say 'stupid'!"

[Becks]

My oldest niece, when still a toddler, attempted to say "clock"...and couldn't manage the "l".

At the top of her lungs.

Repeatedly.

In public.

My sister was beyond mortified.
