Bugger OFF!
Posted in General
Any “swearers” will know how hard it is to curb your mouth 100% of the time. I know I struggle. Most of the time, I bite my tongue, but sometimes, words just fall out like a steady stream of sick.
And sometimes, my beloved sproglet picks up on these words. A lot of the time, a decent distraction (such as a Kinder Egg) makes her forget the words sooner than she learned them, but sometimes, just sometimes, she just. won’t. let. go.
Three weeks ago, she picked up on on such a word. Actually, more like a phrase. When she first said it, I couldn’t help but laugh. Especially because she said it in a Northern twang rather than in a southern dialect. Swearing in a northern accent is SO MUCH BETTER than swearing in a southern one. Even if it’s coming from a 2 year old. But it is something I do frown upon on the whole. I don’t want my daughter saying naughty things at all, and on the most part, she doesn’t.
Except for “bugger”. To be more precise, “silly bugger”. I haven’t even said it for 3 weeks, since my last outburst, but she still ruddy says it! I am currently encouraging her to say “silly sausage” instead, which is kind of working, but she still comes out with it when I least expect it.
Like last week, during a teddy tea party. One of them fell head first into his tin cup of tea, to which she just laughed and called him a silly bugger.
Luckily, she’s growing out of it.
Naughty mummy.

Freyja’s said the F word before an all, more than once I imagine. I just try and explain why she shouldn’t say it, and she hasn’t since :) xx

You’ve heard my attitude to swearing before, we tend not to punish but make Sausage understand that she must never say bad words outside of our house, but we came unstuck the other day when she was playing with Husband and shouted “No Daddy, fuck off”! The poor little mare was so shocked by what she’d said, followed by my dramatic intake of air that she very nearly burst into tears! Don’t think we’ll be hearing the f-bomb from her again…

Freyja said that once after I had a bit of road rage and screamed FUCK OFF at a bloke in a BMW and she copied. That was the one that was distracted by the Kinder Egg :)

Too true! I have a bit of a loose tongue too, & they pick up on exactly what you don’t them to so so quickly! You have to be so careful don’t you?

Mine heard me say “F*** SAKE!” when I broke my toe and I now have the same problem! (Would much prefer silly bugger” In my defence – I had just broken my toe!
