In trouble....AGAIN !!

[RSKY]

This started before Christmas, is still going on.....and it is entirely my fault.

My six year old grandson wanted "snake boots" for Christmas. Just some high topped rubber boots for him to wear while traipsing through the fields, wood, and ditches on their 20+acres. While he was explaining to me what he wanted me to get him I, without thinking, said something about him wanting "**** stompers" for Christmas! Of course I let that slip out while my wife, son in law, and daughter could hear. The daughter immediately gave me THE LOOK because the grandson imitates everything I do. My son in law lost it and repeated what I said and started laughing. He got the LOOK. The grandson said loudly that yeah, he wanted some s**t stompers. He and I were threatened by the daughter with bodily harm if we repeated the phrase. What phrase he asked, do you mean s**t stompers. My wife had to leave the room to laugh.

Everything died down until Christmas Eve when we all got together to open pre-Santa Claus presents. When he took the boots out of the package (took me weeks of hitting every store within 40 miles to find them) his nine year old big sister declared that he had got his s**t stompers and that she needed a pair of s**t stompers for herself. Of course I laughed and got THE LOOK again from the daughter.

Then came New Years Eve. All four of the grands were sitting at a card table set up near the main dining table and the thirteen year old, who should know better but likes to stir the pot, asked her younger cousin how he liked his s**t stompers. Her two younger cousins and little sister started talking loudly about the shoes. I immediately got THE LOOK from BOTH daughters AND my wife. Also got two fingers pointed in my face.

I cannot help it that I am such a big influence. Just hope his kindergarten class doesn't have to tell what they got for Christmas. I have the teachers email address and was gonna let her know that she might have a problem. But was threatened out of it. Daughter said if the teacher knew she would probably ask just to have the story to tell.

Hmm - strange. That's what the salesperson called my MUCKS.

I read my wife the story this morning and she said that RSKY "sounds like my kind of guy". The story got my day off to a good start!!

Edited to add that it sounds like the 13 year old is related to her grandpa!

I suspect most fathers have had similar experiences. I was raised in a family of boys, and my language was a bit colorful, even after I got married. Our first was a girl, and I noticed her picking up some of it when she was first learning to talk. We were at my Mother and Father in-law's home, my daughter was sitting in the high chair, and said, very loudly g** da**!

Now my FIL was a retired, strict Nazarene preacher, and I realized right away I had a problem! I quickly replied "No, you don't need to "get down". Sharn Jean and I both caught what she said, but my ruse worked and they didn't know what she really said. My wife complimented me later on my quick thinking.

Lol, ya my language is a bit colorful too. I really watch it when the grandchild is around and even do better than Gma. Gma, language!

I figure my grandson will pick up enough color on his own. Also have to remember not to use choice Spanish language cause his mom will know exactly where it came from.

You maybe in tad more trouble if your grandson repeat to his friend and they are question.

My grandaughter is 5 and has a memory like a steel trap for all the wrong words.
She heard my daughter the other day giving her bf crap about something. She hollered out the window to him "Are you f***in nuts" when he was trying to cut a tree down I think it was standing in the wrong spot.
Didn't she ask her daughter to do something she didn't want to do about an hour or so later and got the exact same reply.
"but mom, you said that to dad" was the answer back.

Wife taught the grandson his first swear word.

She lost the grip on something and went "****... ****.....****!!!"

Then we heard a little voice say "****!"

When my son was about two or so he had a miserable cold. He was sitting in his high chair all stuffed up and out of the blue blurts out " I hate this f....ing cold !" Try to keep a straight face with that !
