Haunting Words
Bwah HaHaha!!! Daddies words have come back to haunt him. My little Sweety Angel just called Big Bro a Dick Head... Something Daddy calls ooh I don't know the guy who cuts him off in traffic or the Dick head at work. You know anyone who doesn't do what is most convenient for him when he is trying to accomplish something. Is that worse then me saying "For fuck sakes" all the time?? Not sure they have different uses. She has been my only child that has had any interest in swearing all the others listened when I told them that they were adult words and that they shouldn't use them till they were older. Perhaps I need to discuss it with her at greater length.
A funny story on this subject. A woman I was having a conversation with relayed this to me last year.
She was one of the older children in a large family. Her youngest sister was heard swearing one day when angry over some childhood frustration. Upon seeing the horror on her families faces she endeavored to swear as much as she could.
Trying to find a kind solution -one not involving soap- to this dilema they staged an event to curb her swearing. During a hectic family event one of the older children was to 'get mad' and yell an alternative word as loud as they could. So they set the sceen for the unsuspecting youngster and sure enough big sister/brother acts mad yells "OH... BELLYBUTTON!!" as loud as they could. All activity in the room stopped, silence ensued and a mock bout of horror and disgust showed on all faces. Seeing this the youngest sister decided that that must be the all time worst word ever and continued to use it for as long as her need to gain attention prevailed. Now all that was very cute, as far as stories of kids swearing goes, but the part that made me laugh was...
When this child grew up there was a day of great frustration when she yelled with great passion and meaning "You... BELLYBUTTON!!" at an offending party. Serriously, with intence eye contact, and pointed finger stabing the air. When most of us would have called them an Asshole or a Bitch her unconscious dragged out "Bellybutton".
Loved that story. Then again I have a great imagination.
