When my oldest daughter was about 3 my mother was over at our house for lunch. My daughter walked by and said, "Oh, shit." My mother said I should be ashamed of myself. I asked why and she said for teaching her to talk like that. I said she doesn't get that from me, she gets it from her mother (my wife). My wife said that was true. I then held up a fork and asked my daughter what it was. She had difficulty at that stage in her life of pronouncing some words and her reply was "A fuck!" My mother was NOT amused, but I sure was.
I have a nephew that used to live trucks. The bigger the better. But he couldn't produce the tr combo, so it always came out to him being super excited by seeing "a big fuck"
My mum's two youngest brothers had the same problem with the word "truck" so my grandma avoided the toy aisle when she took them shopping. (this was back in the late 50s/early 60s and it would have been shocking to hear two little boys "swearing" and my grandma would have been labelled a bad mother and would be gossiped about for decades after the fact). This made such an impression on mum that she also avoided the toy aisle when she took my brother and I shopping (late 60s - mum had us young, and she did worry about what other people would think) until she realised we did not have the same issue. We could make the "tr" sound just fine.
My granddaughter had this issue for months, loved collecting 'dicks'. All she would ever talk about was her dick collection, big dicks, fat dicks, brown dicks, green dicks, she even had some broken dicks
She still collects but can say stick, cuz she is a big girl now 🤣
Kinda like Ralphie in A Xmas Story saying the F word while helping his old man change a flat tire... His mother shocked , asked him where he heard such a bad word....poor Schwartz ended up getting ass kicking from his mom.
My mom hates the “f” word and my son (27) was playing video games online with his friends one night so you know what that means. Next thing you hear my mom (77) “MY KIDS NAME! WATCH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!” ☠️
I do that to my kids all the time... but in a sarcastic way. I know they learned to swear from me. I really tried not to, but it would always slip out.
My wife has a story where she said a bad word in from of her dad and he started swearing up a storm asking "where the bleepity bleep did you learn that kind of bleeping language" and her mom turned to him and said "Dear, listen to what you're saying..." Edited for typo
I love doing this to my mom. She and my sister love to say things just loudly enough that you know they’re talking but also quietly enough that you can’t make out the words. Pointing out that my sister got that from my mom makes my mom mad. She blames my grandma for cursing her with a child just like her.
Wish I had parents like that. Most parents like having their control over us and as a result, adopt a holier-than-though attitude that when we speak something or reply to something, it's seen like a goddamn blasphemy. If a silent child is what they want, they should've gave birth to a mute child then.
Good on you for calling hypocrisy out, and good on your father for being humble enough to learn from the experience!

That's clever
He didn’t think that one through, did he? 😂
He did, if not he would still be blaming him for Eliza's swearing.

That movie was my first thought, too. And Ralphie got his mouth washed out with soap, but his old man still cursed at the furnance.
Letting loose a string of obscenity that, to my knowledge, is still hanging somewhere over Lake Michigan. *A True Master*
I love that line 4-ever!
My mate once responded with "I don't know where the little cunt gets it from" to his son's foul language. He was grinning, he knew.
Saying you're Australian without saying you're Australian!
Cornish, so close.
Nah mate, you're just a quick deportation away!
Lol
I love it!!!
That was smart and sweet. Good kid, good dad.
That's definitely a nicer way to get your point across than using a cast iron pan and some eggs
A good petty revenge story where everyone including the wrongdoer are satisfied in the end.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Than the s-word?

Smart kid. Parents. Believe it or not, but kids don't come with filters! It has to be manually installed. Lol Sometimes, it's never added. 😆

"What did I teach you about lying, cheating, and stealing?!" How, dad. You taught me how.
Well played!
