I was on the phone with my friend A last night. Her 3 (almost 4) year old son was talking about face painting in the background. I asked what the deal was because I had heard him talking about it earlier in the week. I wondered if he had done it at school or something. She quietly told me that his 8 year old sister had had her face painted on their recent trip to Disney World, but he had been sleeping.
She said, “So, he was kind of pissed about that.”
Suddenly, I heard a little voice in the background.
“No mommy, I very pissed.” Neither of us could hold back our laughter. He got a kick out of this and started pounding his feet through the house yelling, “I very SUPER pissed!!!”
He was told it was a bad word, but probably liked the attention he was getting, so A thought it best to ignore the behavior. I thought it was the funniest thing I’d ever heard.
Dude, the first word out of my future kid’s mouth is probably going to be motherfucker. Sigh. The question is whether to condone or ignore that one…
uumm yeah, thats my boy! i really shouldnt be proud of this, but coming from a child that didnt talk for almost 3 years and had a yr of speech therapy, i am very happy that he can say pissed. especially because at this age some kids still dont pronounce the s sound. it could be worse!
