My daughter is only 6 months old and I am completely unprepared for the horrifying “kids say the darndest things” phase. I think my reaction will probably be more along the lines of walking away red-faced and apologizing the offended party.

I laugh at my kids because I can’t help it but if a stranger yelled “I have a penis” at me, I would LOSE it and probably roll on the floor for half and hour and maybe pee myself. Thank you for sharing. Yes, I’m still chuckling.

And my reaction would be to laugh hysterically. It is my trigger response to anything horribly embarrassing or inappropriate. Like the time we went to my parent’s house to cheer up my dad who had just gone through his first round of chemo and my daughter projectile vomited all over my husband….I just stood there laughing. And I’m not talking about a little laughing…I am talking laughing so hard I can’t talk or otherwise do anything. And I can’t stop. I just keep laughing. B/c projectile vomit and chemo is so funny.
So I’m laughing hysterically and trying to ignore my daughter yelling that she has a penis while my husband is standing there looking at me, completely dumbstruck because I am a behavior specialist and KNOW BETTER. At work, if you threw a “I have a PENIS!” at me I would remain straight faced and walk on by. But at home, from my 3 year old daughter….hysterical laughter.

Needless to say, neither she nor I had any idea what that word meant, but my parents reacted immediately. “What did you say! Don’t you EVER call your sister that again!” We both burst into tears, because we were terrified and had no idea what was going on. I basically didn’t use any other slang or curse words until after my first year of college. So that’s one way to do it…

He replaces the fr with just f and replaces the g sound with the ck sound. When he screamed, “I wanna fock” in Walmart, I almost died.

I tried to ignore until I just couldn’t take if anymore, lol.

When I was around 10, I was trying to get my dad to do something with me at a friend’s house (his and my mom’s friend’s). I was yelling to him from across a very large, echo-y room, and he was refusing. I recall yelling, “Come on! Don’t be a pussy!” I immediately froze. Everyone in the room froze. Uh-oh. That was not what I meant. I knew I was looking for a P word that meant wuss, but that didn’t sound like the one I was looking for…that was a bad word, I knew right away. But WTF was the word I wanted?! It took me a minute. “Pansy!! I meant pansy, Dad!” Oops.

I still laugh about it. Not sure if he does.
