My kid has started saying "hell" and he thinks he's so tough.

[Maddy McCall]

It all began with him going to sunday school with his grandfather and him coming back and telling me about what he had been taught that day. He was censoring himself when he would talk about heaven and hell in the hades sense (which I find truly disturbing that children are being told that they will burn in hell, but that's another thread).

I told him, "Son, you can say 'hell' when you're talking about the devil's domain, you know. It's not a dirty word."

So, now when I propose something he is eager to do, like, "Kiddo, do you want to go out for pizza?" his response is "HELL yeah!"

He's finding very creative ways to use the word "hell." "What the hell?" And he thinks he's getting away with it. Mind you, this is the child who frowns at me when I say "shit" or "damn!"

I guess I'd better put the quaitus to it before he says "Hell yeah" to his grandfather. :7

1. then do i have a joke for you...

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom...

"You know what?" Says the 6 year old, "I think it's about time we started cussing." The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. The 6-year-old continues, "When we go downstairs for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with 'hell' and you say something with 'ass'." The 4-year-old agrees with enthusiasm.

When their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast, he replies,

"Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."

WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with every step. His Mom locks him in his room and shouts,

"You can stay in there until I let you out!" She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, little man?"

"I don't know." He blubbers, "But you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"

stop me if you've heard this before :rofl:

8. Ha ha!

9. LOL!

Too funny. :rofl:

[GOPBasher]

19. Hahahahaha

That's awesome. :rofl:

2. Well, you could have my 7 year old son.

All weekend:

"Mom, the word of the week is LESBIAN. LESBIAN. LESBIAN. LESBIAN."
I say, "Sweetie, do you you what a lesbian is?"
He says, "Two ladies that love each other and want to kiss."

I'm just like, "Yep." :shrug:

[LynzM]

3. Wow, dude

:rofl: At least you're not trying to convince him that that's a bad thing!

I can't imagine all your kiddos... what a wild ride.

21. I was afraid he'd corrupt Pat's son.

Then I was reminded of this:

It could be a bizarre collision of forces. :crazy:

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. Yes, both of mine knew what that was around that age too

My parents (megaFundies) are shocked. Too bad! My grandmother is shocked if one of them says the word FART.

5. One time

My friend and I told his little brother that a lesbian was a very strong person. So his mom walked in the door, and the 6 year old kid slides on his knees right beside her and yells, "Hey, Mom, I'm a LESBIAN" and he flexed his muscles.

Hahahaha. It was priceless.

6. lol

When my daughter was around 4, she learned the word vagina. However, she couldn't quite remember it. So, one day, she told me that her brother had kicked her in the chin. I'm looking, see no signs of damage, but I notice that she looks all confused. I ask her to show me where he kicked her. She pointed to her vagina. After that it was an inside joke. We'd laugh about how a guy was just after a little chin.

15. My mom has loosened up a little.

I think she's become desensitized to the whole fart thing, both the word and the action. :D

[Not_Giving_Up]

16. Ah, that reminds me

My son comes home today telling me that he was walking behind a teacher in the hallway and she farted. He said she should have moved over so that she didn't fart on him. The way he went on about it, you'd think she sat on his head and farted. Apparently, teachers are NOT allowed to fart!

[Maddy McCall]

17. Hahaha!

Not a good way to capture respect for your students at the beginning of the school year. LOL!

11. Funny story for you.

My best friend's daughter and my son were playing in her room, with the door closed. She was 7 and he was 6. He had brought his GI Joe over, because she always liked to play with Barbies. Her mother and I had our ears pressed to the door listening to them play.

Well, daughter said, "My Barbie and your GI Joe can be girlfriend and boyfriend."

My son said, "No!"

And she said, "What is GI Joe? Gay or something?"

Her mom and I had to run out of the house to bust out in laughter. It was soo funny. :D

12. Dupe.

oops.

[Ladyhawk]

7. Like the avatar, Maddy. :)

However, the smiling frog still kind of scares me. ;)

Now for a South Park moment:

Cartman: "You guys are hella stupid. You guys are hella lame. Hella hella hella!"

Eric: "Dude, shut up!" :D

[Maddy McCall]

13. Hahaha!

Yes, when put in the context of South Park, my kid's an angel. :D

[short bus president]

10. tell him to start saying "bloody hell" instead,

so he sounds wanna-be british, and people will think he's a dork, so he'll stop.

[Maddy McCall]

14. Hey, that's a good idea!

:thumbsup:

[Floogeldy]

18. You just tell that little brat that Floogeldy says . . .

. . . "go to hell!"

;)
