To Be A Bit Shocked By This?

I was in town earlier today and coming home on the bus a young woman and her daughter aged approx 5/6 sat behind me. The little girl started innocently enough, singing Frozen songs but then the mother started discussing her family, asking her daughter "What's Uncle xxxx?" The wee girl shouted out "A BELL END" very loudly. I thought it was just a typical innocent child's way of saying the wrong thing, but the mother thought it hysterical and started asking her daughter over and over.

So this wee girl was shouting out "Uncle xxxx's A BELL END" for the rest of the journey.

I know that kids do say things, but AIBU to be quite shocked at the mother getting her to repeat it again and again?

Somehow this has gone on the wrong thread. Was meant to go on the one about the soft play area.

One of the parents at school recently was laughing when their 4 yo was shouting "CUNT" at everyone

I felt sorry for him, (the child) what hope has he got in life

I was at the park during the summer (with DD, not by myself!) when a boy shouted to his dad "tell so-and-so that I'm 6!" and the dad shouted back "you aren't, you're 5" to which the boy started shouting loudly "Dad is a d*ckhead!". I was appalled, I was tempted to go over. Mind you, I taught my DD to say "daddy does smelly poo poos", which is only marginally better!

I always remember when my dd used to say puckin hell fire, it was so hard to keep a straight face. I used to pretend I hadn't heard hoping she'd forget about it but it used to come out now and again.

5 year old niece shocking her real fur cat says loudly 'i love my pussy'. Can someone explain bell end to me please? I though it was something to do with flowers (blue bells) but judging but others it must be a naughty word.

There's definitely such a thing as comedy swearing.

I once heared a three year old in the supermarket exclaim 'shit a brick!'. I laughed like a drain. The parents were mortified and dragged her away shushing her whilst she was indignantly shouting 'WHAT? Gramps says it all the time '!

I asked my 2 year old today 'what does nanny do?' (expecting cooking), he replied 'a smelly dump'! I have no idea where he learnt that from but I thought it was hilarious tbh, so I do think there's such a thing as comedy swearing. Teaching your child to call someone a nasty name is just awful, regardless of the swearing issue.

Londonrach it means the head of a penis.

When DS1 was first talking he struggled with "sh" and "s" both of which came out as "y". So at the beach he fretted about his yorts and yocks and yous getting wet.

The comedy swearing came about when he was building a tower of bricks and it collapsed. Oh yit, he said!
