Can anyone remind me of why its wrong to discuss the pro’s and con’s of any behavior? or post? or idea?
Or should we just sit in a circle and agree with whatever is posted is just what the poster said it was.
Cute.
#21, do you really think that is what was happening? wow.
22–I don’t know what the “that” is that you are refering to, although my own post at #21 is a response to about 3 or 4 other threads, and probably from different websites as well. My bad.
Still, I think it is “fun” to debate the pro’s and con’s of any given proposition since this is a comment blog?
One person sees that video and thinks “Thats Cute” and another thinks “Thats Child Abuse.” I don’t think one comment over the other is more valid—–there simply isn’t enough information. But I would hope the Its Cute crowd might be sensitized to the idea that maybe it isn’t so cute and the Child Abuse crowd should not be dead certain about that either.
But every blog entry should not be a book.
I taught my 3 year old little girl and my 4 year old boy to “throw the horns”. For those of you uninitiated in to heavy metal sub-culture, it is the hand motion with the index finger and the pinkie finger extended (like th Hook’em Horns from UT Austin). Does this make my kids Satan worshipers? Nope…it means they like it when they make daddy laugh.
Lighten up people. The girl repeats it because people laugh. As far as we can tell from the video the little girl has no idea in which context it would be used, much less how to use it to be disrespectful.
My kid is five and he has already picked up “whatever” from society. I, nor his mom, ever use it. The first time he said a few weeks ago I stared at him in disbelief. What the? As a matter of fact he also used the G word. I was teaching him the word ‘elevated’ (we were under the el–elevated subway line). He goes, “ohh, elevated– like God.” He stopped me dead in my tracks. um, heh, heh, um.. [i never mentioned that word to him, but i was scared shit about someone poisoning his mind with ideas that his immature mind is not ready for]…
Me: “oh. what is God, K?”
K: “God is life”
Me: “oh, alright. who told you that?”
K: “the teacher at school”
I left it at that and bought him a double-scoop of ice cream in the hopes that that seed of “God” doesn’t grow without my guidance.

K: “God is life”
Me: “oh, alright. who told you that?”
K: “the teacher at school”
And if your child said “Allah is life”… would you be having a word with the teacher? How about if the teacher informed your child “God is a scam”… a phone call to the Principal perhaps?

Very good post. My thoughts exactly, only you said it better then I would have.

You noticed that too?

My Ma-in-law hates that I taught our daughter to call the red condiment “cat shit”, the yellow is “mouse dirt”, and the green is “real ass”. All words she had heard by three and quite understood by four, without mine or my wife’s help. We have the best kid any parents could ask for.
The kid is very cute. But you sure can tell the parents vs non-parents on the board, eh? She’ll grow up to be just fine. (well, until she’s a teen and she’ll be doing that stuff with feeling – but there’s no avoiding that really). She’ll grow out of it.
I kept thinking of that Steve Martin record – you know. “You wanna play a dirty trick on a kid? Whenever you’re around them – talk wrong. Then when he gets into kindergarten, whenever he needs to go to the bathroom he’ll raise his hand and ask “May I mambo dogface to the banana patch?”
#25 – you might be disturbed, but I hope and pray you’re not intending to raise a nihilist (you won’t get any grandkids that way).
Yawn!
