Monkey knows a lot of words. He can put them into sentences.
He can say, “Juice, Mama. Give it to me.”
He can say, “Dada, open the door. OPEN IT.”
He can say, “Mama, Frank Frank is in trouble!”
And now, as was proved in the company of my grandparents last month, he can vehemently and contextually correctly exclaim “DAMMIT.”
He drops a toy. “DAMMIT.” His sippy cup goes dry. “DAMMIT.” It’s time to get out of the bathtub. “DAMMIT.”
So, yeah, we’re skipping the church nursery for awhile. But my grandfather sent this to me in the mail last week, so it’s clear the family won’t be letting me forget about this one for a long time.
It’s #iPPP time! Our linkup is open until Friday night, so take it easy on yourself this week and pull a photo of your phone, blarg about it and link up!

I laughed out loud at the title. Then again at the comic. I love your family so much. And your potty mouth monkey. I bet that’s effin adorable to hear!
We love you too, Getta.
Hahha! Better ‘Dammit’ than so many other things
Like Greta said- it has to sound adorable.
Very true. It’s really super cute, and as my husband and I don’t have a problem with profanity as long as it’s not directed at someone, we chuckle. But I know a lot of the world is offended by just its use, so we want Monkey to hold off using it for juuuust a bit.
LOL!!! Mine asks me what she can say – is shoot ok? Oh my gosh?!? Duh? The list goes on and on. Try not to laugh too hard when he says Dammit ’cause they are fund-raising on PBS and Word World is postponed.
That’s so sweet! Is shoot ok? Ahhahaha.
BWAHAHAHA – 2 likes to say “ISH mama ISH” when he’s stuck somewhere or in something… Luckily no-one else can tell YET that he’s saying “sh*t”… Gotta work on that one
I should train myself to say ish instead!
Ah boy lol I love this. For Mr. Pants it was “Oh Sh@t” and Daddy and I would immediately say, “OH DARN!” or “OH Jeez!” trying to deter but it took almost a year to get him to stop saying it lol.
HAHA! But MOM. Oh shit is such a satisfying exclamation!
Haha! You know my Monkey says shit. Like, in the right context. All the time. Oops.
I am not surprised.
We are pretty fortunate on the swearing front. My husband and I definitely swear more than the kids and we get “the look” from them. Ooops.
Haha, your kids are the potty mouth police!
Hysterical! That’s the way of it though! Lil Duck still pops out with the craziest things. I can’t imagine where she gets them!
Yeah, I can’t imagine AT ALL where she’d get them.
So funny! It’s so hard when they do that because I’ve always just busted out laughing, which doesn’t exactly encourage it. Maybe it’s because I know that particular problem isn’t my fault – it’s all my husband. We had a couple funny ones when Jenny was about 2 or 3 – her telling me to get her damn juice and our favorite…she walked out of the bathroom and stood in the open doorway and just said, “Fuuuuuuuuhhhhh…” She really dragged it out, but she finished the word eventually. I’m still not sure what happened in the bathroom to prompt it.
It’s funny when they’re little! I remember when I got to a certain age my parents didn’t fuss at me for cussing and it was like crossing over some invisible grown up barrier. Geez. Now I fuss at my grandma because she says shit all the time!
Ha ha ha… so, so funny. My son had phase when he was two where he used to say F@#$ all of the time but he didn’t know what it meant. It was highly embarrassing in public situations!! Goes to show you that you never know what they hear and pick up…
Haha, he went with the big one!
Ha. My oldest’s first curse was dammit too. She’d drop something: dammit. Oops. The middle girl hit us with “stupid ass man” early on. I have to take credit for that one too, said nearly daily while driving. The boy has yet to utter his first intentional curse word but it’s pretty funny to hear him try to say truck.
Stupid ass man. Hahahaah!
Boy do I hear ya! Dausen says that too! We have been trying to get him to stop. grrrrr
Aww, but he’s so cute, I’m sure it sounds adorable.
Too funny — but be glad it’s still dammit. My 11 yo told me last year in a fit of anger… I don’t want to rake anymore f*cking leaves. Holy cow. Talk about a shocker. I’m not exactly sure what we took away — but I’m sure it was a lot for a long period of time.
Honestly, I think I would have busted out laughing at that. I start laughing at really tense moments lately, and it seems to diffuse the situation. Unless it’s the cops, in which case things tend to get worse.
Ha ha ha! That’s hilarious! It’s amazing the things they pick up.
Little sponges! It’s awesome to see yourself reflected in your kids, even if it’s your potty mouth they’re reflecting!
When my child says “fish” it comes out “shit”. True story. And I also love to ask him to say it in public because I’m a great mom like that
My little one is a professional when it comes to bad words. Every time I walk out of the room I hear her call her sister an asshole. Yep. I blame it on her father.
