In shock

[mummydreamer]

"We don't say f*ing, do we mummy?" - these were the words of my two year old dd this morning. After nearly keeling over from the shock, I managed to mumble a "no we don't sweetie" and divert her attention to a puzzle.

I'd die of embarrassment if she said this anywhere else - especially as the offending word is said with a distinctly geordie accent (Daddy is from northern part and usually quite careful with his language!)

Out of the mouth of babes....

I suppose the only consolation is that she's recognised that it's a word you don't say, and the chances are that she won't say it again ... as long as she doesn't hear it again. Perhaps a little word in Daddy's ear is called for.

You wonder where they get it from don't you. Our friend's little boy (just 3) was playing when we were down there the other week. He upended his lego box on the floor and it went all over. His response "Oh bllcks!" in a really weary voice.

a word in his ear? - a foot up daddy's rear I reckon!

Well, I was trying to be calm and non-confrontational about it but since you suggested it ... yes, a foot up Daddy's arse would be an excellent idea

I'm sure I caught dd saying "oh sh*t" the other day.

At first I thought it was ooopsey but it's quite defined now

ds reported to dh a few weeks ago that he'd learned two swearwords - dh, expecting something like "bloody" and "hell" , asked him what they were - "fhell" and "f*off" came the reply! ds then said he would not repeat them unless mummy, daddy or granny said he could! (I can just imagine my mother giving him permssion to use language like that!!)

DS1 (7) came in the other day to complain that DS2(5) had called him 'stupid'. DS2 promptly gets a huge dressing down, and lecture about how we don't call people things like that, only for him to get upset and say " But Mummy, he called me an ar*ehole!"

I was so shocked I just started laughing. It turned out that DS1 had no idea what it meant (he started crying when I explained what he had just called his brother) but he had heard it at school.

I had to let Ds2 off the 'stupid' comment after that

Nbg, ds 20 months says the same word learned from his dad but the area in which i lived in i often hear young boys swearing. It worries me that ds mingt pick these words.

A friend of mine lives in open countryside in N Wales, and used to have trouble with sheep invading their back garden.
One day she overheard her 2 year-old angelic-looking daughter repeating - "Oh, those f*ing sheep again!"

teeavee you i mean that girl have made me laugh

I heard my dd singing a very melodic little song to her teddies last week "bloody f*ing hell, bloody f*ing hell ..."

I recall 1977 over a nice traditional wholesome Sunday lunch with mummy daddy and me (8), and db (7) and db (2) when older db said in a provocative but innocent kind of way....
"Daddy what does c* mean?"
I swear my Dad (rest his soul) spat a piece of fresh NZ lamb about 40 ft across the room in horror and shock...

When I was very little we lived next door to a family with a few problems (my mum 'second-mothered' the children), and apparently I used to cuddle my dollies and rock them to sleep while saying "I love you, you bl*dy little bgger"

PMSL at these posts. I was with my god daughter the other day and we were in the beergarden of a family pub, the barlady came out to collect the glasses and gd asked her in the loudest, most innocent voice possible 'Are you a man or a woman?' I nearly died of embarrassment and the barlady shot me a hurt look and stormed off

When my dd was about 18 months old, we were having trouble with a boy racer across the road, always blasting out loud music, revving up his car for an hour at a time and the usual sort of petty but annoying things that teenage drivers do. He was excelling himself one afternoon while I was trying to get dd to have a nap, and I muttered under my breath, "Moron!". I said it once, I have never, ever said it again ... dd is 4 now, and to this day (despite my telling her that it's not his name and it's not a nice thing to call him) she calls him Moron.

Which is OK except for the time when his brother was out washing his car, and dd wanders over and asks "What are you washing Moron's car for?"

pmsl piffle! just spat my biscuit out too! Reminds me of my younger brother when he was 4. My mum asked him what he had for lunch at school but he was too scared to ask her. After an hours promising not to tell him off he proceded to tell her that he had a roast dinner and then sponge with C**s in. My mum told him the word was CURRENTS. (His naughty older brother had "mistaught" him the word a week previously, which when he repeated he had got a smack!).
My Dd was overheard last week saying Oh FFS! when she dropped something

Memories... travelling somewhere, little sis (about 6) and me (about 13) talking in the back seat, mum and dad in the front engrossed in their own conversation. Sis suddenly asks me "What's masturbation". . Complete silence from the front of the car. I chickened out: "Err...Mum?"

The other day DD (2.3) was drawing on her Megasketcher. "Look Mummy" she says, "a wanker". Our jaws hit the floor, then she continued - "like on Daddy's boat".

Acutally, it's just dawned on me, maybe she had drawn Daddy in the boat .

A friend's dd often tells people "Wank You!"

...luckily she means "Thank You!"

When dd was about two I caught her stomping up the stairs one day with a very serious look on her face going 'Dammit, dammit, dammit' on every step! I've been ever so much more careful about my language since then.
