Cursing at 21 months old?
Ok, so first of all, it almost KILLED me to write the proper spelling of the word curse. Primarily because I pronounce it "cuss". Anyway, how many of you say cuss? Is it part of my Southern dialect or is it a normal pronunciation of the word?
Anyway, I'm from the South and live in Kentucky. While I don't normally carry all of the stereotypes of a hillbilly, I do have to admit that I have that "cute" Southern accent and I have been known to walk around barefoot while pregnant. What's wrong with that if you have a nice clean yard? Don't tell me you have never walked around barefoot.
Anyway, I am way off on what I was intending to talk about so on with what transpired in our household a few days ago and away from the hillbilly topic.
Baby Man and Little Man were playing in the bedroom as usual then all of a sudden Little Man started shouting saying, "Mom, brother said F**K!" "Mom, brother said F**k"!. Little Man repeated the curse word with delight about 10 times because he knew he wasn't going to get in trouble for it. I guess you could say my 5 year old was taking advantage of the situation.
Upon closer inspection of what baby man was saying, I heard the word "truck". Baby man was trying to say "truck" and he was actually saying it quite well. It did not sound like F**K at all. Hmmmm...

Oh MAN! My kiddos haven't cursed yet, but I am waiting for the day..oh boy.
And about the barefoot thing, I am constantly barefoot (in the nice weather)
Sounds like someone is a little too clever for his own good : )
LOL. I didn't see that coming. I say CUSS not curse and i always wonder why its spell that way?
hehehe there are a lot of words that Becca says and J & I look at each other and say "wha??" lol more often than not she is saying something else.
Man oh man, I know you were glad he was saying truck. I am not a barefoot kinda gal, although I am proud to be southern. I just walk around barefoot long enough to find my shoes.
In the summer, I am always barefoot! I hate shoes. I love the feel of grass on my feet. I also say cuss. I know it is really curse, but I still say cuss. We have dealt with some bad words around here, usually they pick it up from their dad!
Sounds like Little Man just wanted an excuse to say the F word. Sometimes I do that too. I love the F word! :)
I am also a big fan of the f*** word. Our daughter has also trotted it out on occasion (to great fanfare).
Aside from what strangers think when they see and hear it (results vary), it's just a word like any other. In some ways, I think it's loosing some of it's badness.
I can think of much worse ways people can express frustration and anger.
Southern girl from Louisiana, here, and we definitely say "cuss". Hubby and I are actively working to clean up our language before the real talking begins.
