Oh, how my grandsons swear
I didn't let my daughters swear when they were young. I didn't allow them to swear in my presence when they were older, either. For the most part. When they were teens, I did allow them one curse word — that word being crap — that they could use when they rilly, rilly, rilly needed to let loose with exclamations of an unsavory sort.
My daughter Megan is more strict than I am. Sometimes surprisingly so. She has a far more restrictive expected code of behavior than I ever did with my girls. That's mostly, I think, because she's a teacher and sees the horrid lack of respect many school kids have for others (and themselves) nowadays.
Because Megan is so strict — and I say that with genuine admiration, dear Megan — I'm pretty sure Bubby and Mac will never, ever be allowed to say crap.
That said, though, there is one exclamation the boys are allowed to say, and it cracks me up each time it comes out of their mouths. During my visit with my grandsons a few weeks ago, I caught Mac on camera uttering the mighty words of frustration when I was trying to get him to say fire engine or fire truck (and, no, it's not that mangled curse word):
Oh, nuts! Just makes me chuckle every time.
Bubby says it, too, and it's always so unexpected coming out of the mouths of those little boys that I can't help but laugh.
What's especially funny is that, as you can see from Mac's face when I chuckle in the video above, my grandsons have no idea why Gramma finds that so funny.
Truth be told, I'm not exactly sure either.
Oh, nuts!
Yeah... it's just funny to me.
Oh, nuts!
I admit it: It doesn't take much to amuse this grandma.
Today's question:
What chuckle-worthy pseudo curse words come out of the mouths your little ones?
