30 Moms And Dads On Twitter Share Amusing Moments When Their Toddlers Used Curse Words
There is an expression that the truth is in the mouth of a child. And if this truth is expressed in obscene words? Some people tend to consider this a parenting fail, while some believe that there is nothing wrong with swearing, in principle.
In any case, swearing is an integral part of our lives, so in any case, children will hear these words somewhere - from parents, neighbors or from older children on a walk. Be that as it may, when small kids utter curse words, it looks rude, but on the contrary, kind of cute.
Recently, Ruth Brooker, a British blogger and a mother of two small boys, shared on Twitter what she called her "parenting fail" as her four-year-old child sympathized with the tired mother in an obscene form. True, it even sounded funny - so the tweet turned out to be very popular. As of today, it has almost 8.5K retweets and over 135K likes. And of course it inspires people to share their own similar stories.

So, these posts are about swearing, yet BP sees the need to censor every swear word.....come on....we're adults!
I would not have had that level of self control. You seemingly have the next Samuel L Jackson as your child
Samuel L. Jackson didn't say that. Jeff Lindsay (aka James Doakes) did. Still funny

Umm....this sounds like it might be an autistic trait. I'm no expert, but I knew a high-functioning child who would 100% have a meltdown over something like this. I might be wrong, please don't downvote.
Every toddler has meltdowns over stuff like this. Especially when they are tired and/or hungry. Has nothing to to with autism.

We took her on a few of the kiddies rides and on our way out, she caught site of the dodgem cars. Well she choose her car with her mother and I chose mine. We were having lots of fun until I got distracted and hit her car. All hell broke out. We went to my folks house so that my friend and i could have a whiskey (calm nerves). I then heard my mom asking what had happened. Little one promptly tells my folks that i am an ****HOLE cause i could not drive properly! From then on that became her regular swear word until about the age of 6.

Load More Replies...A former friend swears her daugher's first words were "c**k sucker" after all their highway miles to daycare and work.
Mine were “oh s**t”. My mom blames it on having a sibling that was 2 when I was born, and precocious af.

Toddler grandson, putting books away that keep falling off shelf “for f***s sakes books!”
Is it "for p***k sake" or "for phucks sake" or "for p***k's sake" or "for phucks' sake"? It's for a work email, so it should be correct.
"for f**k's sake" if you want to really get it right!
Load More Replies...Most people, as we can see by their tweets, had problems with children saying F-words, but sh- and similar 4-letter words and expressions based on them also turned out to be extremely "popular".
Also, a common problem was the use of obscene words by toddlers in public, when they, unwittingly, absolutely embarrassed not only their parents, but also random people surrounding them.
I love how the younger one totally understood and wasn't in the least bit phased by it.
I doubt he understood, he just repeated what dad told him. He could have called it "beautiful kitchen" and 2 yo would have repeated that
Load More Replies...The child calling the mother 'mummy' would indicate this is probably the UK (from the name I'm guessing Wales) so it's unlikely that they celebrate thanksgiving.
Load More Replies...Ah, families! In their car, my SIL said to my brother 'Sometimes, I could kill your mother' with 3yo Jessica in the back. The following day, out for a 'family' walk, Jessica pipes up 'Granny, Mummy wants to kill you'. Cue group freeze. Then it was on...my mother and SIL did not like each other (loooong story, as they usually are) and my mother was a drama queen... So it was (pointing with trembling finger) 'THAT WOMAN wants me dead...' etc etc. Ah, memories...
My friend's kid said that in baby talk and MIL said "That's right, I'm big!"
I guess you were off the f***ing Christmas card list after that. 🤣
Surprise!!! A swearing two-year-old. Just what you want when pulled over by the cops!
I'm guessing if the cop's a parent, s/he will understand completely. :)
Load More Replies...Not sure if it was an accidental typo, but "occifer" is exactly how my kids pronounced "officer" around that age
"Sorry, officer. He is just letting me know he needs a diaper change."
Why they be censoring the whole word but then just part of it????
According to Australian Parenting Community RaisingChildren.met.au, young children, namely toddlers, and preschoolers might swear for several reasons: to get attention, express frustration, try out words, or just copy other people.
If a child swears just to get the attention of their parents, then experts suggest simply ignoring them - then the child will understand that this way they will not get attention at all and, most likely, will stop using swear words. For some time...
If the child swears to express anger or frustration, then it is better to talk to them, explaining that there are other, more convenient ways to express your strong emotions. For example, counting to ten, holding your breath, or just talking about your feelings. Using normal words, of course.
Haha I used to say t**s all the time when I was little, without knowing what I meant. I thought it was just a silly word I made up lol
But tits are not a curse word! This is such a wrong way to teach the kids about sexuality. When you are saying to them that tits, butt, penis or vagina are curse words, you are basically telling them that there is something shameful and wrong about those places. Same goes with poop or pee. You always ask them do they have to go pee, and when you are potty training them you make such a big deal of the first poop etc. But then when they turn 3 or 4 or so it's suddenly a curse word and you shall not discuss it outside the bathroom. No wonder that our kids are so confused these days.
I'm guessing g k n o b ? So is boredpanda going to censor doorknob?

My autistic grandson’s first full sentence, clearly spoken, was while he played Minecraft- “What the f**k!?!?!” We were proud as could be.
Like saying "d*ck" in the US? I'm genuinely curious now...
Load More Replies...I dropped a pizza coming out of the oven once and as I was standing there looking at it my 3 year old said "Say s**t Mom." Wow
For those who may be wondering, the censored word (prìck) is another way of calling someone a dïck.
Quit being sexist. they don't do it to women more. They will do it to men just as often. Jerks are gonna jerk no matter who you are.
Giggling? I'd be crying as we go of the road and thru the field!
Load More Replies...My SIL learned just how much she swears in the car when my then 2 year old nephew yelled “learn how to f*****g drive” at another driver.
that boy's got a future in the business industry. lol. I'd be scared for my life😅🤣
A situation may arise when a child pronounces an obscene word simply because they are just trying a new word, they can even repeat it in a singsong voice. The authors of Today's Parent suggest that in this case, you can gently interrupt the child, but without focusing on what exactly they are saying.
It is best, according to the authors, to emphasize that the child should say polite words: "thank you", "please" and so on, in order to oust any mention of obscene expressions from the child's memory.
Sitting here scrolling through and not paying the closest of attention and I read this one VERY wrong (I missed the word "say") Once the WTF wore off and I read it again I giggled but for a moment I was very concerned for that kid.
My dad said that he barely swore the other day, and when I gave him a look, then he said that cars don’t count.
My son was saying “open the effing door” and “effing thit”( with a lisp) by age 2. Both of us swear too much. Funnily hes 16 now and doesnt swear at all hes a conservative guy🤷♀️.
It's a good question. I would have answered that they are supposed to be responsible dog parents and pick it up, in the same loud voice 😁
For some reason, I immediately read the blurred word as “whiskers”, and I think that is a great fill-in curse word!
One of the best! And it can be both positive and negative. For example, roast potatoes and gravy are the dogs bollocks, i.e. amazing. Whilst liver is just bollocks. Fight me.

Load More Replies...Mummy, what's a Stickhead? Asks DD3. 'its a man whose mother did NOT teach him how to drive correctly '. Still an affectionate term of abuse in our house. . .
My best friend's daughter was about 4, and mom and dad were in the middle of a difficult divorce (he was abusive). One day he called about getting his supervised visit with his little girl, the parents were arguing because he wasn't complying with visitation rules. When she hung up my friend said "and if you do it again, m-thrfecker, you're going to get your stupid pansy a** thrown in jail". When he showed up at the door a few minutes later, the kid, in a perfect imitation of her mom repeated that to him, word for word, and slammed the door in his face. I think there were further legal problems after.
If you thought that all the options for funny children's blurted out words have been run out, you are definitely mistaken. Feel free to scroll to the end as there's more to come!
Took me a minute. The censored word is p i s s, in case anyone is wondering.
I get some of the censoring but dang BP took it too far
Load More Replies...So tiring having to decipher every crossed out word. Are we all adults here or not?
Not all, there's some teenagers on here but I doubt they give a clusterfuck (tee-hee, I found a loophole!)
Load More Replies...Not native swear words to some people, or not actually considered swears at all by most so confusion on why they would be censored
Load More Replies...LMAO - Adding insult to injury. On scale of 1 to full blown tomato, how red was your face after the second part.
My mom taught my kids to say "Up Yours!" with a rude gesture. Not the bird but close.
This is traditional when someone doesn't give way. "And up yours too". :D

I was containing my laughter just fine until I got to "vicar's wife" and then it was all over xDDD
A disease in which malignant (cancer) cells are found in the kidney, and may spread to the lungs, liver, or nearby lymph nodes. Wilms tumor usually occurs in children younger than 5 years old.
Wilms Tumor is childhood kidney cancer. My mother had it as a 2 year old in 1950 - they removed her kidney.

If you’ve enjoyed this list, you might also like another list we recently covered about the times kids have humbled their parents, or this other article about kids test answers that were both right and wrong.
But we’d also love to hear your thoughts and stories about kids swearing in the comment section below!
When BP—which habitually censors even the mildest of epithets—posts an article specifically about profanity, the level of ridiculousness approaches the surreal.
It's a thread about swearing but everything is censored
Right? It's pretty bad when you can't even tell half the time what they're supposed to be saying. What's the point of censoring it out if we all just have to guess what it is in the comments?
Load More Replies...Not fair to punish kids for using words they hear at home, that's literally expecting more self-control from a child than you have yourself.
Hmm...so the UK equivalent of "cutting someone off" is to "cut someone up"? Sounds a bit gruesome lol
And nobody has brakes in their cars, they only have breaks.
Load More Replies...I have a good one! I work at preschool, so I have had my fair share of "try not to laugh" situations. This one happened at my home, though, when my husband had a friend coming over with his 3 yesr old daughter. We have no children of our own, so we don't have much toys, but I presented my favorite stuffed animal, an rainbow alpaca, to her with pride in my eyes. "Sheet sheep" she said. "Sheet? Do you mean sweet?" I asked. "SHEET SHEEP", she said again. "I don't understand what you mean honey, do you mean sweet?" I tried again. "SHEET SHEET SHEET", she insisted, but I didn't still understand. Finally she turned me with frustration and said: "That is a f*cking dumb sheep." I died.
My son used the term fuckmouth when he was 6 towards a bully at school. Have no idea where he came up with it. Told my brother ( who was on parole at the time) about it and he said he had never heard that before... not even in prison. I'm still kind of proud of my son for that one. If you are going to cuss, make it a good one.
One time, an Amber Alert (for those of you not in the US, idk if they call it that or something else, but it's an emergency alert, we usually get them as tests or we get a local one for kidnapping) came on my TV during dinner and my little brother (3 at the time) says "The amber alert scared the s**t out of me!!" My dad was too busy dying laughing to tell him not to say that
A couple from my son. Got stuck behind someone blocking the road. Flashed and hooted them. Nothing. Eventually they moved, I mumble something under my breath and what I thought was inaudible but no my son heard me and said” Daddy, it’s no good to say f*****g f**k.” Another time was when he was still in nappies, about 2 and a half. I am changing his nappy as he poo’d. as I remove the nappy he exclaims “Oooh that’s a f*****g big poo!” We were careful with our language around him so we thing he just heard it out an about
