I'm entertained by cursing children. A lot of the kids at my work swear up and down, and the little ones are pretty funny.

Language when just an expletive is one thing, but when it's abusive and accompanied with physical violence-there are some serious issues.

I have to wonder if there is significant domestic violence or abuse in the homes, especially with the "Andrew" boy. Obviously, I don't know, but I would suspect that these kinds of things are modeled in front of him (whether by accident or on purpose). Yeah, little kids get angry and hit, little kids say bad words, but something is off about him. "Thomas" seems to just be kindof a normal kid, but just says bad things and throws a tantrum. He looks like he knows he gets more mileage from his words for shock, rather than actually meaning them. His tantrum looked... "normal" to me.
I don't know much about kids, so I could be totally off here, but I wonder if they aren't seeing domestic abuse.

I think that was the first memory I have of someone using the F-bomb, and I didn't even realise at the time! nono is the Maori word for 'bum', and Wh (pronounced 'f') is a pretty common letter of the Maori alphabet (see: Whakapapa Ski Field)...
I just thought he'd said something bad in Maori! Ha, the penny didn't drop until at *least* a year later.
Sigh, I wish I was still that innocent...

I asked him where he learned it (I knew it wasn't me or my STB-Ex) and he said he learned it from GRANDMA.

I'm a little afraid of potential future children that I may or may not have with my boyfriend, as his Mexican mother is constantly swearing. And not English swears. The really fancy Spanish swears.
