Listen To The 3 Year Old With A Potty Mouth
It seems that children only repeat what they hear, so listen to this little 3 year old with a “potty” mouth! The Mike & Carla Morning Show aired some audio of a little preschooler who had developed quite the mouth. When the teacher called her mom to find out what to do about it, the answer was a little surprising.
The mother had instructed the teacher to just take the little girl to the restroom and let the kid air it out. To allow the little tike to get out the swear words and then when she was done, that was it! Got to admit, it seemed a little strange, but I guess you do what you have to do right?
How Do You Discipline Your “Potty” Mouth Kid
That’s why The M&C Morning Show wanted to know how your parents handled the same situation. Or parents listening with young kids for that matter. What was the way to go nowadays? Some of the listeners called in with how they were disciplined as kids and it wasn’t pretty. Nothing crazy and life threatening, but back then, parents did what they were taught by their parents.
From being given a spoonful of Tabasco Sauce to washing out their mouth with soap. That seemed to be the big one this morning. Just like in the movie “A Christmas Story”, when Ralphie got busted at the table. Of course, it never tastes good and there’s never a great way to get the soap out of your mouth.
A father called up to tell the story of how his kid thought rinsing his mouth out with water might help. All that did was create bubbles to come out of his mouth and make the situation worse! Listen, it’s happened to all of us…it’s apart of growing up as a kid.
So, take a couple of minutes, listen to the segment and have your own flashbacks…and enjoy!
