To wish DH wouldn't teach DD the correct names?!

[Galena]

Went out for the day at a local Wildlife Park with DH and 18mo DD. It has always made me cringe when we go and see the lemurs and hear the parents saying to their children 'Look at the monkeys!' so we agreed we'd always teach DD the correct names of animals, etc.

However, I've spotted the problem with this today. She is just beginning to speak, and doesn't pick up on sounds terribly well yet...

DH: Look at the Shifaka, DD!
DD: Shit!
DH: No, Shifaka.
DD: Fucker!
Me: Look at the monkey! (Wishing the ground would open up and swallow me!)

DH: Look, it's a peacock.
DD: Cock!
Me: Oh, FGS!!!!

How much worse can it honestly get?!

(I know I'm being unreasonable, by the way, but maybe it'll raise a Saturday night smile )

you get a big saturday night :o from me

Just get it on tape.

she sounds adorable

wikipedia shifaka/sifaka

Yep - they're the ones, iheartdusty. Sorry I spelled it wrongly.

I guess if we get it on tape it could be shown to boyfriends and at her wedding!

I thought she was such a GOOD girl so far, too!

Fantastic - am crying laughing...

Superb !!! We do 1, 2, 3, blast off with our DD, and it doesn't half sound like "P*SSED OFF" when she shouts it at the top of her voice ! It's great when they're learning to speak !!!!

Aww bless.

Oh gosh that made me cackle out loud!

Shits, fuckers and cocks at the Zoo!

LOL YABU because that's hilarious!! Also, AIBU to want a sifaka?

I don't think you are, NurseSunshine - they are very cute!

Love the lemur walkthrough - they were bounding all round us earlier...

We met a peacock on a picnic last summer. DD got a dreadful fright.

Cue her telling everyone for days afterwards 'Me no like Cock'

My dd used to shout 'cock' at the church every time we walked past. Very big clock, dd very pleased with her basic recognition skills, local congregation, not quite so impressed.

V cute.

We recently had a holiday on the beach. Or "bitch" if you ask my daughter.

Fab!

My MIL blew a gasket when dd was little and announced it was 'tipping down' - her pronounciation was a bit off and MIL thought she said pissing down!

Hehehe, I love these. Makes me feel less bad!

my neighbour's little boy says his nanny is a 'dirty smoker' (his parents taught him this, not my opinion at all) but it comes out as 'dirty fucker'

Don't offer to buy her a burger...

bless her.
DS 18 months at the moment says piss for kiss!
friends ds1 can't pronounce ds2's name, he calls him cock!

dd2 has had an imaginary friend since the age of 2. its name is "bellops"

This sounds very similar to a word dh uses when frustrated. (another name for part of the male genitalia)

I really hope that "bellops" will die off soon.

I tried to change it to "sammy" so now she has two imaginary friends. You guessed it; "sammy and bellops"
