rude things they say

wow - no idea either but makes me glad i dont have girls. i would wonder about the friend she got the word from tho.

wait to she goes to school it gets worse  I can think of so many things kalem has said and it still shocks me and kalem goes to a good school i just explain to him that those words are not acceptable in our family.

I asked Kiya if she knew what "sexy" meant (without any explaination - just asked her as she was walking past) and she had no idea. Nat calls me sexy all the time, so it is a word she's heard before. It is entirely possible that Caitlyn's friend was just copying something heard at home without any idea what was really said.

Kids pick up on things so fast! Kiya went out to get the mail today, and came back inside laughing. She said "The lady said 'oh sh!t' when she saw me at the gate!" I had to have a chat with her about swear words as its not a term we use around her.

My mum is always telling Jake he looks sexy, and I know she dosen't mean it in a pedophile way, but it grates me a wee bit... maybe she should say "swish" or "flash" or sommat?

Ethans latest thing is "sh*t, f**k". No idea where he got it. Probably has heard it a couple of times when we are down the street. Makes me try harder not to swear!!!

As a parent and on the governance committee at my childrens daycare i can most undoubtably assure that fould language is not tolerated in daycares. The teachers are trained to deal with these things and generally tell the children that they are bad words and are not allowed to be spoken in the centres. We went through our daughter saying f**k B****h and it came not from the kids at daycare but from one of the parents who repeatedly swore in the carpark.    Children repeat what they hear and mostly it comes either from the parents, the tv or from being out in public,   If you think it is coming from the child care centre the teachers there would probably like to have you share your concerns with them so that they can work with you and your child to prevent the language from developing.

it's interesting, some kids just pick things up from whereever - can you not remember how intruiging it was when someones parents obviously started to try and educate them on the birds and the bees etc and they came to school in standard 4 and told all your friends, it's just another thing that brings shock factor, but they don't actually know what it meansusually apart from the context it's used in. You could try eplaining that it is a word that adults use and isn't right for children to use, and suggest some other words she could use.

sometimes they pick up other stuff though, i do know on a poster at daycare they have parts of the body and i think they have nipples written on there. Ayja comes up frequently if mike has his shirt off and goes "little nipples daddy"    she also apparently says that i have a big bottom, but only because i was takingup too much of the chair she was sitting on, i asked her what her bottom was and she goes "ayja's bottom little"

Brae has learnt "for f**ks sake" from his dad.
"Buddy bugger" & "GRRRRR" from me.
They are so quick to pick things up

Our employee whose also a good friend taught our son "shut up egg". Hmm nice, thanks for that! He only says it when in the presence of this person, but it's still very cheeky & I wouldn't put it past him to say it when out in public. He also says "what the hell's that?", like if we're out walking or driving & we pass something he'll ask in a nice manner "what the hell's that" which is an expression I use, but more when I catch the kids doing something they're not suppose to be like drawing on the walls!!.... "what the hell's happening here!" He knows what words are "bad" though, like shut up, even though he now uses it in the above term. If he hears his dad swear he tells him "don't talka like dat!".
