We might as well make a bad word chart.


"Mrs. Smith, have you ever seen the Austin Powers?"

Me: "Yes, I have."

Jack: " My favorite character if Fat Bastard!"

Me: "You shouldn't say that word at school."

Jack " You mean FAT?"

Me: "No, the other one. Bastard."

Wide Eyed Jack: "I didn't even know that was a bad word! Huh. My dad calls my dog that all the time."



Me: "Well, how about you just don't say it in school anymore, okay? Okay. "




Just another day in heaven.

First day riding the bus, my youngest came home and told me he'd learned the S-word and the B-word. After I got over my near coronary, he shared with me those bad words: "stupid," and "butt head." Oh, for those simpler days. LOL

Malisa said...

My oldest daughter came home from her first day of kindergarten bursting with her learning! "Do you know we have a bad finger??" Great. Just what I sent her to school to learn.

Paige Lacey said...

Loved this!

Reminds me of that scene in that movie, Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Clark's niece says "Shitting bricks." When he tells her she shouldn't say that word. She says, "Sorry. Shitting rocks."

Lol. ;o)

that guy's dad is the same as my dad.

Lee Ryan said...

Could have been worse; He might have said that his favorite character is "Pussy Galore" and that his dad talks about that at home a lot too.

blognut said...

I'm having flashbacks to Fat Bastard in a kilt right now. Not good.

Cute story.

That's so funny! My son the other day asked me where you find "damn ants"..... on Indiana Jones some "big damn ants" swarmed all over them and he was wondering if we had any ants like that around here. Lol, I had to explain that they were just damn ants and that Indy was just mad at them, that's why they were "damn" ants.

In many ways, I am lucky Skyler can't talk with the words that come out of my mouth.

Sandi said...

Fabulous Finds Gal said...

Oh shit....

The Seeker said...

Yeah, thats how I had to explain words like crap, damn, and sh*! to my K-1 class. Their parents used it all the time, so they didn't know there was anything wrong with it. They got a grace period, but after that it was dots once I knew they knew they weren't allowed to use those words in school.

Mimi Lenox said...

You could make a graphic organizer and put it on the SmartBoard while you're at it. Might as well! lol

Out of the mouths of babes, the truth is born.

Ha!

Hope you're enjoying some time off from school.

Your blog is simply wonderful. It has made me appreciate my teachers of past even more so than I already do. Bless you!

Stop by my site to see the latest news on Bubbles the Chimp and how the Chinese government has banned the upcoming solar eclipse.

Sue said...

I worked all day with my "public" and you have to know, grown ups suck, big time! I much rather here "fat bastards" out of the mouth of babes, it makes me smile! Believe me, little kids are much more rewarding to work with than their parents!
Take care, Sue

Desert Songbird said...

I'm constantly amazed at what parents will allow their young children to watch. Think this same parent lets their kid watch Harold and Kumar?

Kathy B! said...

That's usually where they hear it!

I secretly love it when they do that thought... I love that moment in your head when you're spinning it around; making sure you heard correctly; then laughing inside!

I recently took a bunch of online quizzes on various topics -- geography, history, literature -- and it turns out my twin fields of expertise are Broadway Musicals and Profanity.

So I was thinking about running a contest for Dirty Showtunes.

Can I count on you? (Because it seems like something that might be right up your aisle.)

You could always fine them One Million Dollars? Groovy Baby, yeah!

Craig Glenn said...

Eric said...

Bastard was my first bad word too! LOL!

Magpie said...

Mmm, you know there's a wine called Fat Bastard?

Joanie said...

Bastard, shit, fuck, and damn all have secret code words to be used in public in our family. Stabbard (not very original, but it works). 162 (the number of times the word shit was said on the infamous "Shit" episode of South Park). Duckpluckage (stupid, but effective). And damn. Oh, damn. I just realized that one's not encoded. Oh well, duckpluckage it.

Bastard is my most favorite swear word.

My maiden name is Powers and I have a cousin whose son is name Austin. They're the most straight-laced, Mormon family you'd ever meet.

Pretty much the opposite of the fictional Austin Powers. Which is also in my top 5 fave movies ever.
