Here i am, mother of the year, NOT

[Supermarket Slave Girl]

I'm home with my 16 month old little boy who is trying to bash the keys on the keyboard. He was over near the fireplace and he dropped one of his toys down the side.
He looked at the toy on the ground and said "Oh shit" This said in his cute little baby voice.

I looked over at him and he giggled at me and ran over for a hug, and i'm still in shock and trying not to laugh because it sounded funny.

I have no idea where he got it from, he might have heard it slip out of my mouth once or twice.

I promise to never swear again.

Welcome to the wide wooly world of parenting!!

I think I told this story somewhere else once...it's from a guy I used to work with in my old department.

His neice, who was a little under 18 months at the time, started saying "Ohhh, shit" (think tiny little girl voice with the "O" drawn out) when things would go wrong, like dropping a toy or whatever. They don't know where she picked it up (from stories I've heard, quite possibly from her grandfather...). My coworker's wife was babysitting one day, and was trying to put a different phrase into the girl's head, so she started saying "Uh-ohhh!" when little things would happen. It worked...sort of... the neice started saying "Uh-ohhh...ohhh, shit!" :lol:

Little kids are great.

When the big guy was just a little guy, my husband would often say "asshole" to other drivers, but not so they could hear it, but someone did.

We were driving some where and someone cut us off and our two year old son says "ASSHOLE!"

I told my husband to watch his language from now on.

Of course, I had to stop saying "bite me" when my husband would tick me off, since he picked that one up too. :o

My daughter is now a little magpie. :D She's picked up the "b" word, "bite me", "eff you" and a couple of other words/phrases. :o We're going to have to have a curse jar up. :roll:

One afternoon in the middle of winter we (my sister, my dad, and I) were going outside. My sister (four at the time) sat down to put her boots on.When my dad went to help her, she looked him full in the eyes and said "Fuck you daddy, I can do it my self."

OT
I had to switch from saying "bite me" to "kiss my ass", as there are several people around me who like to take things literally.

My parents alleviated the whole cursing problem by initiating the use of the word "fathead." That is until I reached high school, then my dad quit trying to hold back.

Ohhh.... baby swears... quite possibly the funniest stuff that you are morally forbidden to laugh at when you become a parent. Especially when they use it in the proper context. Then you had better have already swallowed anything you are eating or drinking, because it won't stay in your mouth.

We had to curb the swearing here too... Nathan picked up SEVERAL words. Didn't take long to break him of it, and now when one of us swears, HE says "Don't say that word, mom/dad!"

We told him that he could resume swearing when he obtains his drivers' license, and will have a real use for the words.

Oddly enough, I was really never much the one for cussing unless I was really pissed. Now, when Sister-chan moved back in with me.....Well, the "You Shut Up" game became the "Ah Fuck You!" game. :roll:

Children can be so cute.

Quick story...when one of my nieces learned to talk, she couldn't say the letter "l". My sister informs me that she nearly died of embarassment when her daughter tried to tell her (loudly) about all the clocks in the store.
