I'm in trouble!

[RSKY]

Son-in-law was painting the ceiling on their front porch with my daughter sitting in the swing holding the 11-month old and my four year old granddaughter also watching him. As he painted along a very large spider fell off the ceiling onto his arm and he jumped back trying to knock it off his arm. And my very talkative four year old granddaughter yells out, "******". That is d,a,m,m,i,t if I am censored. And that was how she said it according to s-i-l. According to him the word was delivered with perfect timing, perfect Kentucky drawl, and the perfect word for the situation.

My daughter didn't share his appreciation for her child's verbal skills.

So who gets the blame?

Three guesses.

This is a child that at two years of age told her grandmother that no, "it wasn't a full moon, it was a 'waning gibbous moon'." We had to look it up and she was right.

She talks to everybody and holds conversations with strangers in the grocery store.

And I never use words like that around the grands! At least I don't think I do. I don't remember it if I did.

Anyway, they will get over it.

spiders that alight at inopportune moments are to be damned.

Pests that way and good riddance!

Shoot, that's pretty PG for the situation at hand. We've been lucky with our boy (5). He's called my wife something from a rap song once not realizing what he said was a bad word. She wasn't impressed and I immediately knew it was time for a talk with him. No bad words ever since.

Side note, yes, I like ghetto rap and classic country. Can't explain it. Don't care for the meaning behind the lyrics or what they represent but in the gym, nothing else cuts it

So if I read this right, you, RSKY, copped the blame for your lovely and intelligent granddaughter's social faux-pas?

You might as well go 'all in' and ask her to 'pull your finger'. :laughing:

Need to report this post to the Moderators....

I was ABOUT to have my first sip of coffee for the day, and if I have, my computer would be wearing the coffee. :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Perfect "timing" to a funny story. :thumbsup:

The situation was made funnier because the S-I-L was actually proud of her. When he tells the story and repeats how she said it he always laughs and my daughter now smiles a little. They now think she heard it at soccer practice.

Everybody in their neighborhood knows her. She talks constantly using big words for her age and the quickest way to get her attention is to use a word she has never heard. Then you must spend a few minutes explaining the word and it's usage.

Kids are fun but grandkids are a hoot.

That's funny; those of us who have raised kids and grandkids can certainly relate. According to my Mom, I was as bad or worse than most. I recall making a statement, in front of my parents, the someone was a **** sucker. I had heard my Dad use that phrase, and I though it was in reference to some sort of stupid bird. I was immediately told that I was not to use that term ever again.

Your Granddaughter seems to be very bright, and with the way things are today, she could have heard that anywhere; TV especially. I don't suppose anyone thought to ask her where she heard that word?

Grandkids are the best I have 8 and 10yo boys so far. They are at that age where I can corrupt them some and at the same time scare granny and there momma :cool2: Of course I'm speaking of the 150cc dune buggy I rebuilt for them :thumbsup: Us bigger kids (Me, 2 sons, son in law) of course had to give it a "Safety" test first to make sure the kids couldn't get hurt in it. That buggy has seen more donuts then any police force and more hang time then a professional basket ball player :thumbsup: Course we showed the kids what "not" to do :laughing:

Just consider it "earthy" language...

Never forget when my sister was raisin my nephew Bunch. Bunch got stung on his foot by a wasp or such, and went to whippin he!! out of that wasp and its friends with only thing he had, his diaper, while he let go of a long string of mostly Coonass with some English thrown together with it.
Sister was goin all goodie two shoes tryin to impress my Dear Mother and Bunch's father, a genuine Bible thumper, with her mothering skills, and acting all shocked at what was comin from Bunch's mouth. Bunch's father was pondering how he'd punish Bunch for such language, only the English of which he understood. Mom listened for a minute and told that fellow his wife knew and used far worse, and if he so much as badlooked Bunch he'd be dealing with her and her 3 sons, and one of us would **** sure hunt him down. Then she went 100% Coonass and straightened my sister up.

Far as Mom was concerned, for his age, Bunch was talking quite well, and using the words correctly.

Things I hear from little kids mouths these days, would probably make my Mom faint. World's a changin, and polite sure ain't what it used to be.

I had to read the OP story 6 times before I could somewhat picture it, that Kentuck southern accent throws me oof. I suppose you could train your granddaughter to say Boulder, one of the biggest water stoppers in the world. What's amazing is knowing what moon is what at two, sounds like she has the gift of gab, a needful trait to be a politician, news anchor, honest lawyer................

 

[mrblanche]

These days, she can learn that word on any prime-time TV show, including the news and political speeches.

So, Little Johnny's father goes to a parent / teacher conference. The teacher says that Johnny is doing well in his subjects, but he swears horribly. His father exclaims D@mn it to He!!, he knows all the words, but he just don't have no feelin!

None of those three professions ever goes with the word "honest"!

My 9yo grandson generally get spankings from the dad when needed, About 6 months ago the DIL was getting perturbed with him for something and she was going to give him a spanking he wouldn't forget. Out of his mouth came, "That is pretty dramatic." Don't know if he got the spanking or not.

My youngest grandson when he was 2, kept messing with the BBQ grill. I showed him the fist and told him "Boy!!!!! Don't make me have to get you!!!!"

His matter of fact reply " Don't make me take of my flip flop and whoop you!!!!"

Wife took off into the sunroom covering her mouth so he didn't see her laughing. I'm looking at my wife and saying "um honey, you mind telling me where he picked that one up at!!!!!"
