Remember that if he does say it, the proper response is not "When and Where"

 

[bluebell]

Mmm...Sarahh hips.

To quote Ralphie in 'A Christmas Story':

"Oh fudge..."

Your son shows a commendable level of restraint for an 8 yr old.

Well done Mom.

Is it inappropriate to say "Yeehaw!" when discussing womens' hips?

*blush*

*snuggle*
And a rump smack to round things off!

Mmm...Sarahh hips.

Seconded.

He doesn't hear his parents say it, certainly.

In fact, we try very hard not to swear at all in front of our kids. Of course, a few do creep out, usually while we're driving.

If anything will bring profanities to one's lips, driving will do it.

Best to put plugs in their shell-like ears, or give 'em all earphones and put on a Rock CD.

Then tell those idiots off big time.

Said young son to me a few moments ago.

He's playing X Box and is apparently quite furious with Megaman.

Well, at least it's for a good reason.

Oh - he went on to say, "But I won't say it, 'cause I'm like, only 8, and probably too young."

Good lad.

This amuses me for one good reason.


Last night, I showed my brother how to download an Emulator, then showed him how to down load a copy of some of his old time favorites. One of those was Megaman II for nintendo (original) he cussed that game all night XD

 

[alyxen]

I actually get more upset playing video games than I do driving....and I live in LA. I think it has to do with expecting more from other human beings than from a program (yes, I know the program is from a human being also)

My nephew was screaming it the other day while playing Halo 3. His mom is very anti-swearing, but is fairly understanding that since he's 17 it's not a capital crime. I told him he should say, "Shoot, darn, drat, and fiddlesticks" because if he yells them it accomplishes the same thing (and doesn't get him scolded). He didn't think much of the idea.

I said my first curse word when I was six. Mom said I dropped a bottle of hot sauce, looked down dismayed, and said "shit." In high school, I cursed like a sailor when there were no authority figures around. Since then, I've curbed my swearing. These days I say "fudge" or "snickerdoodles."

Although a few choice words do slip out while driving.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

Fuckity fuck fuck, fuckity fuck fuck, fuck you fucking fucks
Fuckity fuck fuck, fuckity fuck fuck, fucking fucker fucks

I curse up a storm when driving or playing video games. I curse up a storm when the phone rings at work, or when the computer takes too much time, or just for the hell of it when getting a sip of water. Sometimes I curse just for cursing sakes.

So fuck you, you fucking fuckface twat ass motherfucking bitch fuck cunt whore shit fucking fuck headed fucking motherfucker bastard fucking fucks, go fuck your fucked selves up your fucking asses

 

[DerelictionOfSanity]

My parents started making more of a point not to swear around me when, at age three, I found something interesting under the kitchen table (I don't know what) and cheerfully yelled, "Oh SHIT!" At 3, my understanding of context was rather limited.

Now I swear a bit, but not very much and I can easily clean up my vocabulary when I need to. I play videogames, but anything that frustrates me enough to make me curse tends to just get turned off for a while.

My son beat Halo 3 in two days. Not a peep. He's nine.

I swear like crazy, but it's been explained to him that swears are things you use in front of people that are your age or younger. My daughter's 18 now and can swear freely. I don't swear in front of my parents. Swears are called "mommy words" here. I told him it's not fair, but lots of things aren't fair.

That's pretty impressive. I have to say that I probably wouldn't be able to beat the game now. At nine, all the gore would probably have given me nightmares. Mario was more my speed at the time.

He's beat some of the hardest games out there without a blink. I went to go buy "Meet the Robinsons" at a local store and the counter guy (who I know is a hard core gamer and we often take his advice on game reviews) told me it was going to be way too hard for him. That counter guy himself had to give up out of frustration. I bought it anyway, expecting to have to console him. Three days. Breezed through all the sections counter guy told me would be too rough.

Paradox: The kid can't read yet.

Hmm. Sounds like he's got pretty amazing skills. I've got to say though, if he's nine and can't read, he might be spending a little too much time in front of the console. Although I'd guess he's able to read at least a little bit in order to play those games. Unless he works entirely by trial and error.

He's borderline autistic/Asperger's, and was homeschooled there for a bit. He's now been in a good autistic/Asperger's program and is starting to make some real gains toward reading and social skills.

He does work entirely by trial and error, it's amazing to watch.

Good on him Diva..he must be working his little butt off..you guys are fantastic with him!
What a combination Asbergers and Autism. One is in and of itself a hard road.

Thank you!

I'm a happy mom, just went to a conference today with his teachers, who are encouraged enough with his progress that he's going to be mainstreamed into more "normal" classes - science and computer lab especially. He'll have speech therapy and remedial language, I even have some confidence he could ride a regular bus next year.

He's a blessing and a gift and I couldn't teach his talent with the physical universe. I'm just lucky he has the time to learn how to read.
