As some might know I am 60 and have a 5 year old son who has just started kindergarten. Without playmates at home this will help him become a socialized individual. Anyway we all have our cars and we all work on our cars. It can be frustrating at times, right? Anyone with a son has probably had them hang around one when working on the cars.

We all know what happens when something doesn't go right like break a part or smash a knuckle. Me, I would exclaim god dammit, jesus christ, or ****. Naturally your son hears this and pretty soon mimics you. So yesterday I have to pick him up from school. Before he walks over him and the teacher are talking and then he walks to me. Daddy, I said a bad word in school today. Me, I am thinking which one was it as the possibilities run through my mind. The teacher comes over as I ask what it was. He said "jesus christ" about something. The teacher explained to me this isn't allowed while I am trying not to laugh. Think to myself what if he had said god dammit cause I use that a lot. Told my father, just now on the phone, and he laughed his head off.
 
Funny story thanks for sharing. I grew up near my family farm and spent the summers on the farm. Grandpa explained to me that what I hear at the barn was "barn talk" and I was not to be repeated else where. I think I basically stayed out of trouble of repeating the words, but between my Grandpa, Uncle and the farm hands, I hear every word in the book.
 
First... 60 with a 5 year old.. Good for you!

My kids are all grown, but the grandkids are around here a bit. I try to watch my language around the kids, but Mrs Big John can make a sailor blush. I'm surprised they haven't picked too much of it up from her.
 
Wow a five year old. When he's fifteen you'll be.......well, god bless ya if your up to it.

We'll see how well I hold up but my ace is that Mom is 34.

Jesus Christ...? That's it? How is that bad?

That teacher would never make it in a Jersey school.
Much like Mrs Big John my wife talks like a drunken sailor. She grew up in Camden city with 5 siblings. . . . my kids have heard some stuff. Jesus Christ is NOT a bad word in any sense.
 
EVERYTHING is considered offensive in schools today. The elementary school kids here can't say "Happy Halloween", they have to call it "Happy Fall Festival Day".

And that's why our culture is going to hell.

BTW my 3 year old popped off with the f bomb two weeks ago. In context no less. I found hunmorus to say the least. Well that was until I felt two holes burning right through my body. Turned to see momma justa glaring away.
 
It wasn't a comment on the teacher, it was a comment on the cretins and being sent to the schools and the way they're being raised. Do what's popular, who cars what's right. But I digress.
 
Yeeeeesh...THE "F" bomb....at 3yrs old, seriously? THATs gonna go over real well during circle time...yup, uh huh.
