to think a 2 year old shouldnt say fart!

[shiningstar]

a friend of mines dd says fart all the time! i dont like it and would prefer something less rude! Is it just me?

DS's say fart, DS1 often 'touches cloth' as well, or' Mum I have touched cloth i think!'
MAkes me chuckle!

"Touches cloth" is something different altogether. Like the "big brown crayon" isn't it??

Don't really mind. Ds says gas but I don't care what he says really so long as he's not swearing.

dds friends family hate farts, say windy pops, and instead of bottom say botty, and poopy instead of poo, but worst of all, refuse to give a name to fanjo / front bottom / girl bits / vaginas. The mum says that when the time comes and the children are older she'll explain (said in hushed tones) but until then, she calls it botty too - same as the bottom. I think thats demented.

My dd says trump lol

Trod on a duck is another...

I don't think it's a word little ones should use. We parp too.

And I don't like dd using "bum" or "belly". It's bottom and tummy.

I love "whoops I stepped on a frog" .

air biscuit?

Touching cloth is when the turtles head pops out and then goes back in, but leaves his mark IFYKWIM!

yes, turtle-necking...

This thread is hysterical.

Amazed though that EVERYONE's child obviously feels the need to say what they've just done when they've farted. DS doesn't ever seem to feel the need to discuss it! sometimes he doesn't stop his flow of conversation, he just talks and you hear this huge PAAAAAAAAAAARP going on at the same time or sometimes, if it's an example of particular comic value, he just falls about laughing.

Oh ffs. Talk about anal

When mine fart they either deny it was them if it stinks or just laugh hysterically. But it's a bit silly to mind the word fart tbh.

my ds is almost 2 and has just started telling me he has done 'bubbles in nappy' !

He came up with this on his own so I guess that's what we'll call them for the time being.

and yes he obviously feels the need to tell me about it- who knows why!

trump

I don't like the word and wondered what we would teach our DD to say. She is 13 mths and has come up with her own word - she says 'bubble' whilst patting her tummy. She even says it when DP makes that noise from another room!

How funny Soph! Just seen your post re 'bubbles in nappy'. Thought DD was unique for a mo!

It totally mystifies me why any of the euphemisms are less offensive than the word itself, it passes me by, this one I'm afraid. Cannot see anything remotely offensive in the word fart.

I agree it's odd that I don't find the severest of swear words offensive, but I inexplicably find 'fart' hard to say!

DD1 says she has made a noise from her bottom

I think that the word fart sounds quite harsh coming from the mouth of a 2 year old

I don't find it offensive but we weren't allowed to say fart and would say trump. But we were allowed to say crap. Swings and roundabouts.
Although i must say i don't really want DS saying it, my DH says fart and he's from an ultra conservative family.
Glad to know that i'm not a complete weirdo - or should i say that i'm not alone in being a weirdo

re op. yes. get over yourself. what do you call a spade? an earth moving implement? at what age is it ok to say fart?

So glad I didn't read this at work... my mother used to say 'poofty' -- god knows where that came from. We are definitely a farting household now though

Good old traditional Anglo-Saxon word, much cuter to hear a 2-year-old say 'Excuse my flatulence' though
