Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - Silly Bastard..
Well it had to happen, my almost three year old came out with those immortal words "Dad ya silly bastard"..
I was loathed to tell him off as I actually tend to agree with him but on the other hand I didn't want him to think its acceptable because he would surely be struck down by God himself if he was say 'that' word at Pre- School. (he goes to a United Methodist Church one, I know I know, can't quite believe it myself..) I can't even imagine the shame, I would never be able to walk through my village centre again without the 'Stepfords' cackling and pointing at us..
I'm not too sure where he has heard this as I use much harder swear words than 'Bastard'. I don't even think I can blame Syllk as that was months ago..
On further questioning my almost three year old laid the blame squarely on his big sisters shoulders, apparantly "Dee Dee says bastard all the time Mummy!"..
In some respect I actually think we've been quite fortunate in that this is the first time we've had to repremand him for the use of 'colourful' language as my Mum would say..
Whilst trying to explain to my almost three year old that use of such words are "a little bit naughty" the said 'silly bastard' and teacher of the word 'bastard' could be seen in the background pissing themselves laughing..
Anyway, best go, almost three year old is trying to fit a small plastic bag over his head..
