Too late

By John W. - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was driving my eight year-old son to school when a guy cut me off, prompting me to yell "Douche bag!" as a reflex out of the window. Realizing my mistake, I turned to my son and told him to never, ever talk like that. His response was, "Too late, douche bag." FML

time for some discipline. but don't feel bad. if that jerk hadn't cut you off, you wouldn't have reacted like that.

lol, your son soaks things up like a sponge

Everybody slips up once in awhile. Too bad it always seems to happen when they're at that age...

What a coincidence- I once read this situation, word for word, in a joke book.

You have inspired me to have children now. Thankyou.

When you tell a kid not to say a word, they say it, and or use it against you. If they do continue to say that, tell them what it means. I Guarantee they will then never say it again. :) how I know dis? While babysitting my cousin I was watching a video, and they said douchebag, he loved dat word. Repeated it, called the cat a DB, me, and a-movie that. I then told him to shutup. Upon being told I was a douchebag I then told him the meaning. Five minutes later, his parents come home. He said nothing and I got an extra 10$ >:)

yeah, how would you explain what **** meant? The worst of all the curse words. My son picked that up from his father and after trying to punish him everytime he said it I tried a new tactic, just ignore it. Eventually he stopped saying it and now even tells people who say it around him that it is a bad word. He's 3 and he knows all the really bad words and also all the not so nice words like 'shut up'. And he knows that I don't approve of him saying them. I also dont think that smacking your kid across the face is the way to go. That was for you ~shedevil~

Shit, I've got a 7 year old son who knows that daddy words are off limits to him
