Everyone knows toddlers are like little parrots - they have an uncanny knack of picking out the most important or worst word in a sentence and repeating it back to you, usually more than once. Over the last few weeks I've collected a few examples to suggest that it's not just parroting. Because when it comes to swearing, context - and timing - is everything, right?
Milkbaby, immediately after throwing up ALL OVER his bed: "oh shit".
Milkbaby, upon the discovery by mum and dad that the car keys had been left at creche for the weekend: "fuck".
Milkbaby, after peeing all over the lounge floor: "oh gawd".
and the kicker:
Milkbaby, tonight, instead of saying goodnight to his dad and yelling down the stairs: "see ya, sucker!"
I'll worry about the odd swearword when they start to get used out of context. Hopefully that won't happen until the teenage years.
hahaha love it, see ya sucker :D
