I said dammit one time when something fell off the couch while I was cuddling with my youngest. Took almost 3 months to get him to stop repeating it when something went wrong.
Kid won’t listen to me otherwise though when I tell him to do something.
When I was not quite two, my dad was an MP and swore all the time. My mom told him to stop swearing around me. My dad laughed and said, “Don’t worry, she’s not even talking.” Then I backed into a heater and repeated, word for word, one of his favorite, multi-word phrases. He learned to substitute clean words. He favorite phrase had multiple sections, depending on the severity of the situation – God Bless!, God Bless America!!, God Bless America, Land That I Love!!! You laughed at Level 1. You got quiet at Level 2 and you disappeared at Level 3!
I had a friend who thought it would be funny to teach a neighborhood youngster a math formula. Unfortunately the beginning word function came out sounding like f##ks**t.
I was once alone with a toddler who said a bad word. I said nothing to draw the boy’s attention to it, but I worried that someone would accuse me of teaching him.
When my middle daughter was five or so, she came back from playing and said, “Mark said @#$&”. My wife told she should never say that word. She protested, “but I didn’t say @#$&, Mark said @#$&”.
After a couple of rounds of repeating, she just said, “OK”.

even Ralph Parker’s parents were upset when he uttered the F triple-hyphen word… followed by his friend’s mother when Ralph pinned the blame on him

Quick. Start spouting funny nonsense then teach her “Baby Shark.” The parents will never know.

We had a parrot that would pick up bad language in a heart beat. Finally realized she learned the words said in a loud voice.

Remember life’s two main rules:1. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.2. Anytime absolutely nothing can go wrong it will anyway.
