We’re in L.A., visiting Nana and PopPop, a.k.a. my mom and dad. Mom has just finished her rigorous morning workout and is getting dressed so we can take Jonah to the park. The boy and I are ready to go. We’re hanging out with her in her room while she is putting on her shoes. Suddenly she gets a stitch in her side that must feel like having a heart attack because her body torques in half with the pain and she yells with all the gusto of a hard-working sailor: F********ck!!!!!
And guess who thinks that is the greatest word he’s ever heard?
F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, he shouts gaily.
Um, thanks mom?
This morning, he’s toddling around the house, chanting quietly to himself… f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
Oh dear.
that made me laugh out loud!

Hmmm, I guess that may be the one downside of having an uber-verbal toddler!

I would say it could be worse, but I’m not sure how. It is funny though, just because it isn’t mine. Good luck.
LOL! Too funny – until you take him out in public!

I have to admit, I think it’s pretty hilarious. The trick now is to try not to laugh when he does it because we don’t want to encourage him.
Then again, at this stage I’m really only worrying about what people will think of me. He’s so young and cute, he makes it work for him.
Ha,ha, ha, ha!! Be sure to reference your mom when strangers give you a look, or just laugh.;)
My oldest heard my husband yell b*stard out once when he was almost two, and for the next year, everything was “you b*stard” whenever he got angry, which was frequently and often in public. They only have to hear it once.
When we knew he was old enough to understand, time-out was used with mixed results. The clever boy just replaced the phrase with “you binky”. We then had a discussion about intention and us knowing what he meant.

You’re welcome!
[...] Rewind to last week in Los Angeles. Nana and PopPop are not practiced in containing their enthusiasm when swear words rise to their lips. As we have seen. [...]
