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 )

Friend of the family was at the train station with LO and her toy broke. She was screaming "fix it, fix it" or F it, f it" as it sounded!

Haha brilliant

Thanks all. I see this is just the start. I look forward to the future...

we went to see the lights at blackpool this week and DD who is 3 very loudly and happily told DH that she liked the "flashing pink cock" - it was a peacock!

My DD age 5 calls her dad Bobo- we have no idea why, although it is the name of a monkey in a book she used to love. However, she has now changed this to Boaby, which is a crude Scottish word for a penis. Cringe-worthy when she shouts it in the street!

I'm giggling out loud at all of these! When I was little and we had my grandparents to stay my mother was serving dinner and asked me to ask my grandad which part of the chicken he wanted, so I asked him if he was a leg or a breast man!

OP, you would have been safe enough saying "lemur", surely? Or is this also similar to some naughty word which I hadn't thought of?

You are very naughty for calling a lemur a monkey, and if I catch you pulling a similar stunt near the gorilla enclosure you will be in big trouble.

Love it!!

Annie, I know, lemur would have been fine. I was just wishing the ground would swallow me up by then and wasn't thinking.

I won't do it again... I promise.

Oh brilliant, I love this stuff.

My mum was playing with my DD singing out "Im the king of the castle and your the dirty rascal"

DD is 23 months and recited
"im king of castle, you a dirty arsehole!"
