“Dad, what’s a Dike!?”
My wife and I almost spewed dinner across from each other.
About 3 minutes later, while wiping the tears from my eyes, and through high pitched giggles and snorts(from me) I finally asked: “Why do you ask son?”
At this point I thought the worst and was expecting some story about a classmate who called another classmate a bad name, or some such story.
“Well, today at school I heard a story about a little boy who stuck his finger in a di….”
(More uncontrollable peals of laughter)
A few minutes later: “What’s so funny Dad?”
“Oh, nothing Son (*snort, coughing up chunks of Broccoli, more tears).”
History:
Quite a few years ago one of the jokes in my repertoire went like this:
“Did you hear about the little boy who stuck his finger in the dike? She kicked his @$$!”
I told it so often that my wife used to groan every time I started telling the joke to somebody. Little did I know these very words would cross my son’s lips one day and conjure up some pretty funny images and memories from my past.
Please note that I try to be careful about words I use around my kids. I’m human, and there are the occasional slip ups with some “bad” words, but I don’t use derogatory words like this.
There are times when something hits you in the funnybone just right. Crass language is something I usually don’t post, but this was just too funny not to share.
I’ll have you know that kid is a national hero here!

If anyone knew anything regarding this I knew it would be you.
Say hi to Spencer for me! And tell him to get On/Off the “ball”, whichever works.
Too funny! I’ll take your story as a good warning. My boy is starting to mimic wheat we say (kinda). I swear he walks around all day cussing like a sailor…SH*T, T*TS, D*CK. Mabe I’m just hearing stuff, but man, I gotta start keeping it a litle more G rated at home.

Just to clarify, I have never mentioned the “D” word around him. But the way he asked it was just hilarious.
Yeah, be careful. They can be little stinking parrots from time to time. They usually utter the wrong things at the most inopportune times.
Our oldest girl the other night said ‘ducky’, and one of us said ‘well, at least she didn’t say it with an ‘F”. She said, ‘F*cky?’ We all burst out laughing. Of course we told her that she can’t say that, that it’s sort of a bad word, but we had fun with that.

I could barely breathe from laughing my head off. This was just too funny.

When the little kiddies get older, they don’t necessarily repeat what you say, but will use it against you depending on how offensive the word. Can’t tell you how big the bribe to my son was to keep mum to his dad on my using the *f* word in traffic the other day. =)

Ha! That’s why I make up my own swear words i.e. “Sun-ny Beaches” (Son of a B_____).
LOL, same here. I’ve uttered ‘fudge’ more than a few times.

Did you ever see the video of some of the characters at Disneyland Paris messing around backstage? I cannot look at Goofy the same way to this day, and my kids have no clue why I can’t stop laughing!
