My wife (southern gal) often refers to pants as 'britches'. One day our daughter toddled out of her room, with no pants, and yelled "Mama! Where my b*tches at?!". In front of our dinner guests...she's 20 now and we still tell the story. ETA: My daughter is 20...not my wife.
Come on kid you are on the same team have your parents back in public then call them out in private.
Makes sense. Inquisitive inspiring minds need to know. Make it make sense.
In Kindergarten I asked my teacher how to spell pig. She told me, then I went and wrote "Ben is a pig" on the chalkboard. Ben was my best friend. :) The teacher was not happy with me.
I was visiting one of my cousins and his wife and daughter when the daughter was maybe a year old. In any case, she wasn't old enough to start talking. My cousin said a bad word and his wife jumped all over him. "Frank, watch your language! Damn, Frank!" She never realized it until I mentioned it years later.
We had a Swear Jar when my oldest was young (he's almost 30 now.). At least once a month, a bunch of us would get together and game all day Saturday. Everybody knew about the jarand promised to use it if necessary. One friend was a lawyer who rarely, if ever, swore. One Saturday, I opened our door and he just handed me a $20, saying "Court was a f*='k%÷g b!tch this week. The opposing lawyer was a d!ck every f$(/;×g day and the judge needs to go the he!! home and a mf'ing nap after lunch or take his fat a$$ back to f
There's a wonderful Calvin&Hobbes comic where the father swears (for some relatable reason), and Calvin and Hobbes say "do you know these words"--"no but I wrote them down so we look them up later"
yes she is offically ready for you to teach her the official rules+ the swear words to go with them of road rage#atually a adult
My younger, hipper sister babysat my baby boy (2) when Cardi B’s WAP was a big (?) deal. Still smile when I think of his sweet little voice singing “There’s a horse in the house”instead of W H O R E S.
Scarlett: Rhet there's a hole in your sock. Rhet: Frankly my dear, I don't give a darn!
In my house, the 'S' word is spelled s n o w. My son would announce "it's swearing outside! "
Plot twist they were playing teams with their sibling in another room and also Dad in the living room.
It's fun to see how other parents are so afraid of swear words. When our kids asked if certain words were "illegal" to use (that's how they asked) we just told them that they can say all words -but that they must be aware that some people get upset or angry when they hear certain words. And thw funny thing is that we don't really have issues with them saying swear words. Because they are not labeled as bad, I guess, so they are not extra fun to experiment with.
Yep! Similar talk with our kiddo. Policing words with no explanation guarantees they'll use that language inappropriatetly.

Swearing and pushing the boundaries to is a good sign of critical thinking and intelligence. Means you're curious about language.

They find it easy to accept that there are times and places for different languages and words without me ever having to explain it to them. I swear pretty liberally in English. My mum once heard our daughter say "f**k" when she was just at the copying phase and said "Oh, she must have heard that in the playground". I just said "Mum, they don't say that here. She got it from me." I have more of a problem gauging how bad the swear words are here so I have an agreement with a local mum that I can just text her a word if it comes up and sounds bad and she'll give me a star rating in return! :D :D Imagine just getting a string of texts with the equivalents of "c**k" "bollocks" "poopoohead" and then having to rate them! :D
