My 5 year old nephew said that a boy in his Kindergarten class had called him “Dumbo”. My Mom asked him how he responded to the kid and my nephew replied, “I called him a fucking asshole.”

… “Little Jimmy is already swearing at a sixth grade level. We’re so fucking proud.” – Rich
How is this an IMMD? A little kid swearing at another little kid? It just shows us how were influencing our children. You are really fucked up.
I agree that kids should not be responding as such, but you just lowered yourself by adding a profanity to your comment.
he isnt swearing at another kid, and he’s not a kid
I meant I agree with her statement about the kid’s swearing, but adding her own profanity lowered herself.
I never said *she* was a kid at all.
agreed!
Eh, apparently I’m the only one here on your side.
Nope, I agree…no manners…if that is how he is talking now, I can only imagine how much troule that mouth will get him into
*trouble even
You’re a fucking asshole.
Oh lizzie, dont be a buzzkill and get a sense of humor. Im sure the parents dealt with it. But that is pretty funny. Its most likely though they here this language on the streets and thinks its ok to say to be funny. it is.
While I would’ve preferred a simple “You shut your whore mouth”, the kid has some moxie. I like his style.
Also, never heard “dumbo” as an insult.
you never had big ears then…
It’s an implication of elephantine size. It’s only slightly lower on the insult scale than calling someone a “fatass”.
“There once was a man from Nantucket” was the favorite nursery rhyme at George Carlin Kindergarten.
I say “Hooray for that kid!” He’s probably avoided twelve years of merciless school bullying in one fell swoop there.
Absolutely. I wish I had stuck up for myself when I was this kid’s age. I was too shy and quiet and was teased relentlessly. No doubt ‘Dumbo’-mouth hadn’t been taught manners and it was time to take them down a peg. Good job!
there’s a difference between defending yourself, and being rude. I’ll make the allowance that the kid probably didn’t know quite HOW rude this was, but the parents have issues
that sounds like a little kid win to me.
being one of the ‘good kids’ i know that deb is right.
“Little Jimmy is already swearing at a sixth grade level. We’re so fucking proud.”
this MMD. Kid doesn’t take crap from anybody.
Funny, but did IMYD or not?
gotta love how half of the comments on any post in this site is people preaching how other people should raise their kids,
I was swearing without the help of my parents and it came from…GASP! OTHER KIDS. Where did they get it? OTHER KIDS (usually older siblings).
I like to think I came out quite fine regardless, I know when to swear and when not to. The answer to the difference is “every damn day”, but I digress.
Regardless,
It made my day too.
Go kid for not taking any shit from anybody. I’d rather see a kid swear and get back at the kids bullying him than see him deal.
I agree, too many preachings. Personally, I believe that there is no such thing as swear words. All words are made up and given value, that changes over time. Take for instance “Blast” or “gay” Blast used to be a swear word, and gay used to mean happy, now the former is an explosive device and the latter is a sexual preference.
I am a huge George Carlin fan, he was one of the few people who got things right, especially on morality. And the amazing condrum that first person morality is better than third. Always. I say if the parents want to let the kid use colorful language. Then no one else should have a damn thing to say about it.
“conundrum” not condrum, my bad.
I know I picked up MY swearing from my parents. Which made it funny as h*ll when they yelled at me for, ah, swearing.
Hey… Think of it this way: Good parenting is teaching your kid to use his words rather than hitting the other kid. I think the kid responded admirably to the insult. When I was growing up, most kids would either turn the other cheek or beat the other kid up.
Hmmm…seems to me that the comments opposing this obvious day-making incident are most likely from white people.
WHITE PEOPLE – IT’S 2009. PLEASE BEAT YOUR KIDS.
we’re not saying beat blah blah blah blah not to swear blah blah blah blah its not white blah blah blah not overreacting blah blah blah go jump blah blah blah.

It’s kind of ironic for an 17 year old to be saying “kids these days…” but it’s exactly what I thought when I read this. When I was that age and I said ‘darn’ I was grounded, scolded and got my toys taken away… Kids are getting more and more outragous every year.. Cell phones, mini skirts, xbox live, facebook, you name it. They act like teenagers as soon as they hit 8 years old. And it’s sad really, if I could to back to my childhood I totally would. It was the only time I can remember not caring about absolutely nothing, playing with my broken toys and being ammused for hours with a cardboard box. But now when you look on the street you won’t find a single kid playing outside or at the park, because they’re inside playing video games,. Its all they know. It’s sad that kids these days don’t get to play likewe used to, get in trouble like we used too, and appreciate the small things like we used too.. and it’s also pretty sad that parents are letting them.
My parents were not strict but you demean yourself when you resort to using cuss words, doesn’t matter if you are a 5 year old or an adult.
Next time when you are arguing with someone throw in a few cuss words and you will see how fast you lose that argument.
Not true…It’s common knowledge that the ultimate debate winner is…..”Fuck You”
I find this highly fucking dubious.
have you been in a kindergarten classroom lately? a lot of those kids (even in a rural area like the one i’m in) know how to swear with the best of ‘em. they’ve never had their mouth washed out with soap, because if their mothers were to do that, it would be ‘too harsh’. (hm… never hurt me any…)
I’m on the “good for the kid” side. Of course his parents should now have a serious talk about how to stand up for himself and tell it like it is without using potty language. But good for him for standing up for himself. Bullies pick on other kids because they think they can get away with it. He just told them in no uncertain terms that they can’t, without getting called out for what they are.
yeah! dont talk just beat the other kid up.
Way to go for defending yourself but cursing at the other kid is just a no. When you’re five and talking like that it’s just a sign of things to come and I’m saying that as someone who goes and helps out in the public school system. It’s amazing what they do. Just think, cursing at five, stabbing the substitute with a pencil at nine.
I’m still of the opinion that profanity is still preferable to violence. It used to be considered normal for kids to fight physically in school (usually with bare hands). We’re moving to a more civilized state where we use words instead of violence.
The pen is mightier than the sword, but a sharp tongue can suffice in a pinch.
Pure klass. Glad his parents are teaching him age-appropriate language. :/
I don’t understand why everyone’s so upset that this is here. It’s a statement, and it definitely makes my day when I read it. I think there’s a difference between it making someone’s day, and it being encouraged within their children. I wouldn’t encourage this behavior. But, it’s effing funny, and well, kids will learn to say these things from everywhere.
Is it just me, or did the nephew effectively tell the bully “Go ahead: MMD”
I’m dreading the day my son looks up at me with his big blue eyes and heartbreaker face and says something like that.
you gotta immagine how HARD it is to not laugh at them because they’re so damn cute. And because it must have shocked the hell out of her. Posting it on here speaks nothing of anybody’s parenting. She never said what the childs parents did as a punishment. just that it made her day.
And as his aunt… she’s allowed to just laugh, it’s his mommy who gets to discipline.
That’s right kid – start as you mean to go on: Take no bullshit from ANYONE!
pathetic imo
I wish I could stand up for myself like that when I was 5. That kid is awesome.
