Well it finally happened

[Joker]

My son said his first cuss word yesterday....good ol' "F" bomb got dropped while we were at the park playing catch. He was grabbing his favorite football and when it slipped through his hands he bent over and said F@#$%


Ahhh, I wish his mother was there to hear it !

The fact that he used the word wasn't as surprising as the way he used it. I mean you and I might use the word to express our distaste for something when we mess up. But my son is only 5 and he shouldn't know that F@#$% is an option that can be used instead of oops, aww man, or even damn it. I started to laugh a little when I heard him say it but then I quickly kept my composure and asked him to repeat what he had just said. He did it with out hesitation (which let me know he didn't understand that it was a word he shouldn't be saying) and I told him that it was a bad word and that he can't say it until he gets to be as tall as daddy.

He gave me that shrug of the shoulders and doe eyed look that all kids give their parents when they want to say "Okay dad what ever you say". Oh god, how they grow up fast....little bastard said F#$%...HA I love it !!

[Wyborn]

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

Sometimes it's easy to forget you're a daddy.

Think his mama would have reacted the same way?

[Joker]

She probably would have been a bit more strict and really would have made sure that he understood it was a word he would get spanked if he ever said again. But I figure he's only 5 and this is the first time I've heard him say it and he really didn't give me any indication that he knew he was saying something bad. I try to watch what I say around him, but the little guy's my right hand man so he's around me all the time when I'm with friends or watching a football game. I'm pretty sure he's seen me use the word, and because I'm more prone to drop the "F" bomb in casual convesation rather than in a heated exchange or arguement he probably figured it was okay to use.

My fiancee is really good with him when it comes to teaching him manners and whats right and wrong, so imagine she would have raised her voice more and been a little more stern so that he knew that moma wasn't playing around. Me on the other hand, I figure as long as he wasn't saying it with the knowledge that it was a bad word there was no need for me to get all huffy about a mistake. I trust that he knows when I'm being serious with him and when its okay to mess around with dad, though I have had to spank him a few times when he tries to test me. I have what my dad had over me, the look. With my mom she had to change her voice and call me by my complete name for me know some heavy handed parenting was coming down. But dad, he just gave me this silent look (shudders) I remmeber it so well I use it with Vincent when ever he gets out of line and he recognizes it instantly...I wonder if the fear of the "look" got passed to him through my DNA ??

[Eagle Eye]

"The Look" got passed from Mac to Sam Jr, and Sam Jr passed it down to Andre, Sammy, Carmen and Rahsaan.

Alternately, Rudy passed it to Sheila and her six siblings, who also passed it to all their children.


Yeah, it's genetic.

[Bomby]

I invented the F word when I was six years old.

[Tomahawkmansp]

You should hear the things my little brother says he swears in english and polish.

I heard it in a movie and spelled it in kindergaden. Someone was playing the can you think of a bad word game ( now I know why it isn't so popular) and that's what I thought of. I thought it was okay to spell it .

[X-3]

My 8-year old cousin shouted the F-word and I think another bad word out his window when he was angry at his parents.

His punishment: No Pokemon until two weeks after his birthday.

[I am nobody]

I didn't get a punishment. It was right as school was letting out so my teacher didn't have any time for that.

thats MAMA LUIGI to you, Wyborn!

but really, you got any pics of you with him, Joker?

[Typhlame]

I said it when I was like 5, and I didn't know what it meant.

I said it when I was like 7 years old.
I said it to a teacher, but I didn't know what the hell it meant .

[t3hDarkness]

This brings back a memory, but with a far different ending.

To be five and to break a crayon in the middle of Sunday mass.

[1-up Salesman]

WOW.

[SephirothKirby]

^ THAT WAS A GREAT POST.

[Robotazy]

awwwwwwwww.

For a second I thought SK bumped a topic, which would have been followed by a "Sir, have you been drinking tonight?" joke.

But, I see it's 1-up Salesman........

Tazy_10 beats the everloving snot out of 1-up and then throws him 50 feet away

NO BUMPING GOSH!

[Luigiman7]

LMFAO THIS IS OLD

[Speed]

So Joker any other Profanity from your son?

[Vgfian]

Every other word I said from ages 1 - 5 was a curse word.

I remember one time my sister came home from school and said to my mom,"Hey mom ,[insert name here] said a bad word."

So I asked my sister while we walked back to our doublewide.

Me:What bad word did he say?
Was it damn?Was it sh*t?

My sis: Leave me lone.

Me: Was it damn?I bet it was damn.

Sis: Leave me alone!

Me: Was it ass?

It was something like that at least.

You see, even though I always heard them being called "bad words"
I never paid any attention to it.
(cut me some slack,I was 2)

Plus, I had always heard my father say them when he came home drunk.
And even when he was sober.

Any new profanity?

He says "stupid" alot more than I would like, but I don't consider that a curse word. Also "s***" has come out of his mouth a few times but I cleaned that up right away.

I have a ton of pictures of me and the little guy. I'll post a whole bunch of them in the Post Your Picture topic in a little bit.
