"That's NOT your frikkin' job!!"
LOL!! I saw your post and had to write this.... Yesterday afternoon, I'm at my sister-in-laws house for mother's day. Having a great day, throwing the football around with my two boys (7 and 4 1/2) and apparently I hadn't throw the same number of passes to the 4 1/2 year old and he decided to have a little temper tantrum. Now it had definitely been a long day but there he went, marching around, kicking, folding his arms, "i'm not your friend" and out of nowhere comes "i don't like this ball anywhere!! (throws the ball) and i hate this FRIKKIN" watch!!!" (and tries to take of his little blues clues watch...)
i stood shocked.... it goes without saying, i don't believe "frikkin" won't be coming out of his mouth anytime soon.... unfortunately, he probably heard it from me, though... oops! have to keep the "frikkin's" down to a minimum, i suppose... is it bad if it took me a second to compose myself because i did find it quite hysterical for about 3-4 seconds and needed to get a smile off my face before turning around to reprimand him???
LOL!! My four-year-old very rarely repeats things I'd rather he not say. But you're right: It's hard to not crack up laughing at the way they say it sometimes.
You oughta hear him repeat lines from Mystery Science Theater 3000 shows. Too funny!
I'm roaring laughing at your story!!!!
I've been in the same boat with my 6yo daughter!!!
We (semi) solved it when she was about your son's age - quarter fine for "no-no" words......from her or mommy or daddy. We're doing some renovations around the house - her piggy bank is growing by leaps and bounds :)
