While walking along some eateries in The Curve during the school holidays, a very friendly staff at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. greeted us Good Morning and gave me a balloon. Mummy paid no attention to the balloon at all until much later when I told her...
Me: Mummy, there's a bad word on my balloon.
Mummy: Bad word? What bad word?
Me: Neh, you see... *shoved the balloon to her*
I am not allowed to mention the S word because long, long ago, (when I was only 2 years 6 months) mummy told me that stupid is not a nice word to say. Therefore, I just I referred to it as the "bad word" haha.
The words on the balloon made mummy wonder... of all the quotes in the Forrest Gump movie, why did they choose to print this one on a balloon meant for kids? Probably they didn't expect the kids to read them! Do you read what's printed on your balloon?
hahahahahaaa...this is a forbidden word in my house too :) i've never notice the words on bubba's balloon. ashley has got a few from them before. i should pay more attention. why not "life is like a box of chocolates" eh?
ReplyDeleteWow, she is certainly a good reader!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder why this sentence too!
ReplyDeleteChloe is so cuteeeee!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL... my kids are not allowed to say this word too, be it in English, Mandarin or BM. Initially I don't find this word offensive, not until they use it to scold others. So I got to ban it from my household.
ReplyDeleteBut of all the quotes, why this?? Like Barb, I prefer "life is like a box of chocolates,...." hahaha!
Btw, Chloe is very observant :O
ReplyDeletehaha very good observant. We dun allow to use this word either. Sometime when I said "Stop it Chloe", then she will replied "Hey, dun said that" Haha she overheard as 'Stupid Chloe' LOL
ReplyDeleteWording on ballonn should be more simple and direct. This is too tough to explain to a kid though.
ReplyDeleteu r so pandai ya.. hahaha... my mummy also taught me not to say ppl stupid or silly
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Definitely not a very good word on a kids balloon.
ReplyDeleteHehe...this also a forbidden word in our house. When I subconsciously blurted out the word, Gwen would tell me not to say it..hehe.
ReplyDeleteHuh! They shouldn't do this >,< Kids easily copy things, either good or bad...
ReplyDeletegosh...indeed why did they choose this word.
ReplyDeleteMy son picked this word up too from my colleague. He says it once in a while to anger me. But he will hit his mouth after that and promise not to say it again. Hai....
