1. Cute kid, and he's already cursing at a 2nd grade level. Good for him!

My almost-five-year-old began experimenting with "grown up words" about six or eight months ago. He has a keen ear, and he quickly identified words that he knew were outside of the usual lexicon around our house. My wife and I try to rein ourselves in (she more successfully than I), but we're only human, and occasionally one slips out. The cute part is that he doesn't quite have the knack for profanity, though he definitely has the passion.

A while back I pinched the flesh between my thumb and forefinger in a hinge on our younger son's high chair. Forgetting my audience, I grunted "This damn chair," and my older son jumped on it at once.

"It sure is a damn chair, Dad," he said. "It sure is a damn chair."

Hell, what could I say? He was clearly trying to be supportive...

2. That's so cute though. I used to love....

Art Linkletter's show, Kids Say the Strangest Things, maybe I have the title wording wrong. Or was it Kids say the darndest things? :shrug: I's been a while.

4. I think it's 'darnedest'

My son really knocked my socks off about a year ago. I was at the computer in the foyer adjacent to the living room. I went in to check on him while he was watching tv, and I found him standing on the arm of the easy-chair.

"You know I don't like to see you standing on that," I said.

"Then why did you come in here," he asked, "if you don't like to see me standing on it?"


Great. Thirty-six years old with a college degree, and I'm out-witted by my four year old. So I shrugged, turned around, and went back to the foyer.

3. My brother had the exact same speech impediment....

when he was the same age-in 1958. I can't even describe the looks he got.

edited to add it stopped once the frenulum under the tongue was clipped.
