I'm in trouble!

[RSKY]

Son-in-law was painting the ceiling on their front porch with my daughter sitting in the swing holding the 11-month old and my four year old granddaughter also watching him. As he painted along a very large spider fell off the ceiling onto his arm and he jumped back trying to knock it off his arm. And my very talkative four year old granddaughter yells out, "******". That is d,a,m,m,i,t if I am censored. And that was how she said it according to s-i-l. According to him the word was delivered with perfect timing, perfect Kentucky drawl, and the perfect word for the situation.

My daughter didn't share his appreciation for her child's verbal skills.

So who gets the blame?

Three guesses.

This is a child that at two years of age told her grandmother that no, "it wasn't a full moon, it was a 'waning gibbous moon'." We had to look it up and she was right.

She talks to everybody and holds conversations with strangers in the grocery store.

And I never use words like that around the grands! At least I don't think I do. I don't remember it if I did.

Anyway, they will get over it.

spiders that alight at inopportune moments are to be damned.

Pests that way and good riddance!

Shoot, that's pretty PG for the situation at hand. We've been lucky with our boy (5). He's called my wife something from a rap song once not realizing what he said was a bad word. She wasn't impressed and I immediately knew it was time for a talk with him. No bad words ever since.

Side note, yes, I like ghetto rap and classic country. Can't explain it. Don't care for the meaning behind the lyrics or what they represent but in the gym, nothing else cuts it

So if I read this right, you, RSKY, copped the blame for your lovely and intelligent granddaughter's social faux-pas?

You might as well go 'all in' and ask her to 'pull your finger'. :laughing:

Need to report this post to the Moderators....

I was ABOUT to have my first sip of coffee for the day, and if I have, my computer would be wearing the coffee. :shocked::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Perfect "timing" to a funny story. :thumbsup:

Later,

The situation was made funnier because the S-I-L was actually proud of her. When he tells the story and repeats how she said it he always laughs and my daughter now smiles a little. They now think she heard it at soccer practice.

Everybody in their neighborhood knows her. She talks constantly using big words for her age and the quickest way to get her attention is to use a word she has never heard. Then you must spend a few minutes explaining the word and it's usage.

Kids are fun but grandkids are a hoot.

That's funny; those of us who have raised kids and grandkids can certainly relate. According to my Mom, I was as bad or worse than most. I recall making a statement, in front of my parents, the someone was a **** sucker. I had heard my Dad use that phrase, and I though it was in reference to some sort of stupid bird. I was immediately told that I was not to use that term ever again.

Your Granddaughter seems to be very bright, and with the way things are today, she could have heard that anywhere; TV especially. I don't suppose anyone thought to ask her where she heard that word?
