Every once in a while, an attentive child will pick up something in passing — be it overheard from a parent, or a movie, or a stranger in a busy store — that leaves parents with a tricky predicament. Because when it happens, accident as it may be, it's nearly impossible not to laugh, despite our best efforts not to.
Of course we don't want our little ones repeating some not-so-nice turns of phrase, but when they're so oblivious to what they mean, it's hard to fault them. For example, despite posing an unfortunate hurdle for a mother tasked with explaining why certain words are a no-no, an old viral video of a little girl telling her mom she's going to "kick the monster's ask" is difficult not to crack a smile at. And if you're a Jimmy Kimmel fan, you're probably familiar with his ongoing series where children on the street are asked to name the worst words they know ("poop" and "hush" were frequently reported).
So while we shouldn't be encouraging our little ones to use naughty words, it's videos like the one below that remind us of the adorable innocence of children — in addition to the reminder that "bad words" is a relative term. (Be warned, the last one is a zinger!)
