Is This Bad?
Is it wrong for your almost eight-year-old to be yelling:
"Fudge!"
"What the fudge!?!?"
I thought I heard this from him as he is skateboarding outside and called him to the door.
I asked, "Ajers, what did you just say?"
Ajers: "Fudge."
Me: "Okay, I don't want to hear that anymore."
Think he'll start saying fuck now that he's not allowed to say fudge?
Shit.

You're right, Joel. Saying it in that context is just as bad as if he said the real EF word. That's why I got my ass off the freaking couch to yell at the little bastard. I knew he was wrong! LOL
funny..my 8 and a half year old says.."holy crud"...two steps away from holy shit if you ask me..lol
Tell him every time he speaks in that context he'll have to wear that too-too to school.

When my niece was three, her favorite phrase learned from her father was, "Oh, Shit!" Uttered as only a 3 yr old could do. LMAO
Cracking up over here wtih these stories of foul-mouthed little mother effers! Makes me feel like my kids are right on track. My poor daughter still keeps saying, "I don't even know what the EF word is except it rhymes with Duck!" Yes, she is blonde, and yes, my three-year-old continues to enlighten Diva when she says all she knows is it rhymes with Duck.
People, People... it's ONLY A WORD. Or several of them all strung together to form a highly colorful and inventive phrase. Rather than correcting this highly creative behavior, you should be rewarding the little bastids for their independent application and use of the word in proper context. Afterall... proper diction, expanded vocabulary and creative application of various words is a highly desired social skill in some circles. It's the creativity of the new generation, don't you know?! This is our future, get them started right dammit!
Hey, I happen to think the 'F' word is educational!
(Ok, I admit I don't let my kids go around saying it though... lol)
Lara--LOVE your column on the EF word.
*deep, introspective sigh*
I have just seen my fucking future with Baby Buddha. People predicted it without the assistance of Magic 8 Balls. My son's first word will undoubtedly be FUCK. In CAPS. He'll be able to use it well...but I'm sure I'll be fielding more than my fair share of calls from teachers when he enters school.
*pondering the copious use of 'fudge' while showing A Christmas Story nonstop to my kid*
Joel, it's spelled
BEEEE-OTCH.
--From the biggest one of them all!
