Then what did people call "shit" in semi-polite conversation before someone came up with "crap?"

I learned my lesson about cussing very early when my 3-year old, then about 18 months, plainly and clearly called me Daddy fucker one day...

I don't see the problem with swearing. It isn't like she just stuck a knife in someone.

Out on the lake last year, we were anchored and some lovely individual came by us at about 20 yards on full plane. When the sizeable wake hit us and started throwing us around, I stood up raised my arms to thier boat and said, "What the shit!"
My three year old was able to perfectly re-create gestures and vocabulary on their next trip by.

Seeing my beautiful daughter pop off that much attitude sent us all into gales of laughter.

By the way my grandma says that it is not cussing if pronounced coerectly. Say it with me She-it.

Someone remind me to never say "brocolli" around ChiefsFan5840.

ROFL Usually the 1st or 2nd time it is funny and hard not to laugh at. Just have a talk with them , it's time to be a daddy.

Have fun !

Oh man, where did I go wrong? My 2 year old has a mouth that would embarress a sailor. He says every foul word out there just about. The err umm, funny part is he uses em in the right context. When his 10 year old brother cries or throws a fit, he says, ''Stop being a pu$$y.'' It's funny, but he's finally learning that these are inappropriate words. His mother is to blame for his foul mouth. She has a pretty filthy mouth herself.

Don't use that word, Scout.

Here we go again...already this morning. He got mad at his playstation game and threw the paddle and said god dam this game........spanking is not working neither is taking the game away. What a temper this child has.........

While at dinner the other night Nathan and Clint were having a conversation razzing each other. Clint told Nathan he was only a DNA strand away from being a hillbilly, Nathan tried to call Clint a hillbilly, but it came out hairbully and we started laughing. Nathan takes offense being laughed at when he mispronounces a word or puts it in the wrong context, so as Clint was taking a drink, Nathan looks at him and says "Daddy you drink DNA". Nathan just turned four and is already kicking his dad's ass in put down's! We lost it and the people in the resturant were actually looking at us.

ROFL

took the words right outta my mouth

What do you mean "taking the game away"? The Playstation? Do you say something like "it's off limits now for an hour"

I guess it doesn't really matter. You just suck at being a parent.

No kids here, but this brings back one of many memories. I was just learning to read, so I'm guessing I was somewhere around 5 or 6 years old at the time. We were driving through a not so nice part of some city. My parents in the front seat, my brother and I fighting in the back. My brother looks at me and says, "Read that window over there." Trying to show him how good I was, I very loudly pronounced the letters I saw. SH-IT. My mom freaked. I told her my brother had made me say it. She didn't believe me until my dad finally said he heard me and my brother's little conversation. Needless to say, my brother ended up getting yelled at instead. I love memories like that!

Two anecdotes.

My parents weren't passionately against cursing, but they didn't do it much. Then one day, out of the blue, a guy cuts my mom off in traffic, and my then 3yo sister yells out 'what the fuck does he think he's doing?" My mom had to pull over the car, she was laughing so hard. To this day, we don't know where she picked it up.

My youngest cousin came much later than the rest of us, about 12 years younger than my sister, who is the next youngest. And my aunt was living next door to the granparents at that time. My grandpa got neverending enjoyment out of teaching her every curse word under the sun. At 14-16 months old, she'd say 'muvverfugger' and he'd laugh his ass off. She'd say 'sodovvabidge' and he'd laugh some more. My grandma would hiss "Joseph Kelly!!!" in her most disapproving tone, and he'd nearly wet himself with laughter. Good times.
