Let me tell ya, kids these days...
Kids these days try everything they can to push their limits. Kids are always fascinated with bad words because it's their chance to rebel. They know they can be mischievous by just using a simple word choice, and they love it.
I was babysitting when I overheard the kids talking in the other room. They were gathered around playing leggos. The youngest kid said,
"Damn it, you knocked over my damn building. You better fix it or I'm going to beat your ass."
They didn't know I was at the door so I walked in and asked,
"What did you just say?"
The kids looked so scared that I almost laughed. The kid answered me.
"I didn't say anything."
He argued with me so long I was almost questioning if I had just heard him say that. Did I really just hear what I thought I just heard?
The next week I was over there he decided he was going to try to test me out even more. I was sitting with them while they did their homework. The kid looked at me and said,
"What in the ell, my teacher was an itch today."
Once again, I asked him what he said and he repeated himself like it was no big deal! Back in time out he went. Trying to take the first letters away from bad words won't work with me. Brats.
Sincerely,
The Bad Babysitter
That sounds about spot on from the crap my niece and nephews try to pull. Although, I don’t babysit them as much as you do with yours. If I did I would pull my hair out, which apparently is not the case with you. Since you always come to class with thick blonde hair (HAHA). My youngest nephew (age 4) accidentally heard me say a cuss word, then screamed it five times in Walmart! Wait until that happens to you!
ReplyDeleteMy son is adamant that darn is a bad word. I think its so funny how he reacts if someone says it. I guess id rather him think darn is a bad word than have him try to curse me out. If he tried that, we would have a whole other set of issues lol....
