'You silly bobble'

[KindergartenKop]

Would you be offended if a 3 yr old called you this? Wibu to tell said 3yr old off?

[BlueBananas]

why would you tell them off??

[SpongeBobJudgeyPants]

Nope.

[KissMyFatArse]

No I wouldn't be offended at all

[StarlingMurmuration]

One of my cousins called her mum a "black stub" when she was about four, with great feeling. I think my aunt was too busy trying not to laugh to tell her off. To this day, none of us know what a black stub is.

[LottieDoubtie]

Er? no..

[EsmetheWitch]

YWBU.
My 3 year old calls me a 'silly nugget' which I think is very funny. She's annoyed at me and she expresses it in a harmless enough way.

although I suspect she's mispronouncing fucker

[Flisspaps]

Was it said with great indignation, folded arms and a 'humph' to finish?!

[Theycallmemellowjello]

Hee! No I wouldn't tell off, it's cute.

[ArabellaRockerfella]

Ha ha, you wait 'til they start calling you a poo poo head!

[KindergartenKop]

It's more the way it's said. If he knew the word twat then he would be substituting bobble for twat. It's maybe a bit disrespectful.

[Psycobabble]

Unless bobble has some alternative meaning that I don't know of

Then yes you are b u to tell them off

[LibrariesGaveUsPower]

Awwwwww

[BitchPeas]

I wouldn't tell them off. It would make me laugh.

[Salmotrutta]

YWBVU to tell a wee 3 year old for that!

I'm adopting it as my new favourite phrase.

[BitchPeas]

Sorry x post. So it was the tone/way he said it? What had happened leading up to it?

[RuddyHellItsSoftCell]

Your 3 year old or someone else's?

I wouldn't mind dd saying it to me or her dad but I wouldn't be that happy about her saying it to another adult. Having said that I wouldn't be keen on said adult telling her off for it, that's my job.

[Wolfiefan]

Mispronunciation of bollocks?

[usualsuspect333]

I would laugh.

[KindergartenKop]

It's not said affectionately! More in anger/frustration that mummy isn't giving him what he wants or doing what he wants.

[GallopingFoxley]

My 8 year old keeps calling me a 'worthless worm' and a 'mouldy old measle'

Yes he's been watching Horrid Henry

I just laugh

[Elisheva]

Were you being a silly bobble?

[KindergartenKop]

It's my 3 yr old. If I allow him to call me and dh a silly bobble then he will say it to everyone. He called a little girl it in the park today. I might teach him the word cunt or twat instead, wthat bu?

[GallopingFoxley]

Oh just unclench and laugh it off. Talk about over thinking!

[Cynara]

at Elisheva. That's a very pertinent question.
