I think I might have put this story on a while ago, but it's still funny. The 5-year old son of friends of ours suddenly discovered the 'f' word, so his mum and dad tried to ignore him hoping he'd stop. But they had to say something when he started trying to teach it to his younger brother. His mum said to him, Right I'm really cross with you now so I'm going to go in and speak to your teacher on Monday. He looked down his nose at her and said, Mum, I didn't learn it at school, I learnt it at SUNDAY school! Mandy lol :))

kylie we used to say to our daughter were not babysitting you again when she said rude things, my dad taught her to say' you a little bugger ' and mum had her singing' well keep a welcome in the hillside ' a traditional welsh song. not suitable when you live in england. as daughter got to about five she one day said whose little girl am i then, we had to stop using that excuse for our embarrasment at her swaring or just being honest. bless her . now she looks after kids as a job she tells us the things lttle ones say. i can laugh now.

When my son was three we went shopping and he saw a large lady went up to her and poked her gently in the tummy shouting Woo Hoo that's a really big tummy! I grabbed him muttering sorry as she was livid. Her husband cracked out laughing and she just glared at him. He's five now and I dread him blurting things out. Elfx
