Whereas I had to learn the words, one at a time, in alphabetical order, by reading through the dictionary that my grandfather kept on lower shelf of the table next to his reading chair. He finished school at the end of 8th grade in 1922, but he never stopped learning through his 96 years.
Sorry pal, language like that is learned at home first spoken by the adults then as child gets older & gets handed a cell phone to play with and or music played in the car/home hears this language continuously. Does not understand when parents tell them not to talk like that.
My first thought as well. Reminds me of a funny story when I was his age when my brother squealed on me for cussing, Mom's reply, he did not learn that from us.
My parents would not have killed me for that. They would have had me go to my room and consider what possible punishments would be head my way. My brothers and sister would avoid me like a plague dog. After a short eternity, they would have grounded me for a week or two, extra work duties and told me that any future profanity would be dealt with SEVERELY! I never heard my dad curse in his entire life even though he worked in a steel mill. I have a potty mouth, it must have come from summers working in that same steel mill.
Ah, kids - little mirrors of what they have learned from us. Mom and/or Dad, y'all need to get your act together and teach the little worm some manners, along with some attitude adjustment(s). Just sayin'
I would have most likely wound up in a hospital, courtesy of my dad, for language like that.
ReplyDeleteThese days, it's likely the little shit learned that from his parents.

DeleteNo.
DeleteIt's definitely from the internet.
Most kids today learn everything from the net.

ReplyDeleteMy dad would have drown me in a toilet with a bar of soap stuck in my throat.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to fathom just had bad that is. The reflection of our society. This nation needs to REPENT! Yesterday!
