Today, I was at an outdoors Christmas party and I jokingly complained that my son says 'mama' way more than he says 'dada'. One of my students was at the party and watched him for a couple of hours. He taught him to say 'dada' every time he sees a bug. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was changing my son's diaper when he said "Momma." Astonished that he'd finally spoken, I clapped and smiled proudly. My clap scared the crap out of him. Literally. FML
Today, my 3-year-old son said to me, "Fuck a duck, Daddy." I have no idea where he heard this. FML
Today, my son said his first complete sentence: "Mommy likes shit." Not only will he not stop saying it, I have no idea who taught him to say it in the first place. FML
Today, my son followed me around like a shadow, chanting, "Mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom…" to the tune of Jingle Bells. It's March. FML
Today, I got to take my 10-year-old son to the junior high school at which I teach. When my students questioned him about what I was like at home, he told the entire class: "Well, she farts all the time." FML
Today, my two year old girl said "motherfucker". Everyone laughed, even her grandparents. Our family is insane. FML
Today, was parent appreciation day at my daughter's KG class. On the stage, each child was asked to define each parent in one word. When it was my daughter's turn, she looked at me hard, thinking. Finally, in the end she said, "My daddy is very fat." Everybody stared. FML
Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for my employees' children. After seeing all the others, my daughter's turn arrived. She sat on my lap, put her lips to my ear, and whispered softly: "I want a new dad." FML
Today, as I was taking my three year-old daughter home from daycare, she asked where her daddy was. I tried to tell her that I was her father, but she answered, "No, not you! My other daddy!" I've got some talking to do tonight. FML
Today, my 2-year-old daughter overheard my wife and I arguing and fixated on one particular insult my wife threw at me. Now my daughter won't stop saying "Daddy a numbnuts", always with a big smile on her face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

when you say dada out loud, point to yourself. he will eventually get it.

Or he could Say Dad and point to him so his son/daughter doesn't say Dada for the rest of their lives

I was saying that because I got the impression that OP's son is young. it's quite natural for a young child to call his or her father dada.

Excuse me while I get on my high horse here but if OPs son is very young, Dada is perfectly acceptable. Speech is a fine motor skill which children develop over their young childhood, however it does not start to become fine tuned until after five years old when the child has learned to control that muscle-the tongue. Yes it's true that you shouldn't baby talk your child when they're learning language skills, however there is a big difference between pointing to yourself and saying Dada so that your child starts to associate who you are with syllables that will later then into words, then speaking sentences such as "Wittle Whonny naanaa a cookie wookie" Infants and toddlers needs short syllable words to start their language development. Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying Daddy instead of Dada to your little ones but in my experience, parents who insist their toddler speak proper English end up having a preschooler who regresses in their speech down the road. TL;DR-I'm an early childhood educator and "Dada" is perfectly acceptable language for a toddler and infant.

Hey, in Arabic "Dooda" is bug (singular). Maybe OP can modify what the son was taught?

That is a really cool random fact. I'll have to remember that.
DoubleDosexo 12
I've always used Dooda a different way, so thanks for that(:

You better teach him the real meaning of 'dada' soon. This could be your "Last Resort."

Well he's young and probably still can't tell the difference "Between Angels and Insects." (:

At least now you can complain without it being jokingly. Student deserves an 'A' for hilarious creativity!
