When you look back at this incident later, you will definitely laugh over it. But right now, yes, its very embarrassing. God help you. I cannot remember anything right now as my sons have grown up, but I guess I must have gone through situations like this. Its just normal. Enjoy your daughter's childhood.

Don't worry my dear, you'll be perfectly alright. I used to wonder about myself too. but then its so gradual, we take it in our stride. We started acting all grown up too.

Hey hey there !
WOW ! That would take me off guard and I would say young lady dont you talk to me like that . I bet she might I heard that from someone at school or something . Kids sometimes too dont think we they speak . I know my mom would of been all bashful and be thinking what will gram think , but we all have been thru it .

No not at all! even to think too..not expecting so much from a six.First let me say that children are the mirror images of ours and they have a psychology of adopting the new style if they find new,and probably do the style in their environment
First for grief I tell you to say sorry for your husband tactfully in front your daughter then she will release but never allow between talks.Say that girl that you are a child and you have to stay away form these .sometimes when it does not work just slap
Never make her feel that she is Queen and keep that girl under your control

Hee Hee - my wife was saying to our little girl (4) 'I wish we had a good little girl that ate her dinner' to which the little one replied 'well I wish I had a good Mother...'
We were completely stunned by her answer and then both exploded in silent laughter neither of us could look at her or each other while we struggled to regain composure...
They pick all sorts of stuff up from their friends, but this one was a 'straight back at ya' type of answer![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

Kids are so sharp they could easily pick up from what they see and hear so be very careful my dear. Of course you wouldn't want your kid to learn more words like that.
I can't remember any such circumstance yet that ever happened to me. But there was one time I overheard my son telling to my Mother: "Grandma, I saw Mom and Dad kissing each other!" Then I heard my Mother telling her: "It's because they love each other, you see they are also kissing you because they love you." I heard my son replied: "Ahhhh!"

kids usually do what they hear or learn from their environment. when i hear them say anything that's very unusual, i do ask my kids where they learned the word...
if they would tell me that it came from me, i guess i have to think about it and try not to say or do whatever it was. and i'll explain to the kids, why they should not do it...

I don't have children yet but I have seen this happen lol. It's not really funny so much as embarrassing, one of those "kids say the darndest things". It's hard to always censor yourself, especially when you're around the little ears 24/7, although I could think of worse things being repeated lol.

these things do happen often for parents who speak out open heartedly in front of their children but in many ways or other be happy that she said to you and not others and most importantly in front of your own mother and not a stranger,i feel this is lesson for you to learn and correct yourself and again do not even do the smallest of arguments with in Ur hubby before Ur child come on cheer up she has tot you a lesson

Yep, kids will learn fast by imitation. I bet you were embarrassed. It was like your daughter was holding a mirror to your face to see yourself. The hardest thing is to express one's annoyance or displeasure to one's partner. What we have to keep in mind there always has to be respect even when one disagrees. Otherwise the kids will become more and more disrespectful as they get older. Not an easy task though, that is for sure.

That is the one thing about kids, they repeat everything they hear from their parents.
The only thing I can think of is one time when my daughter told my mom that I my sisters house was a pigsty!! I told her not to say that and she said, but mom, that is what you said to dad! Guess she got me there!

oh well, kids are very observant and what they see and hear at home they will copy it wherever they would be. This is a lesson for all parents. They must set good examples because kids would copy whatever things they saw thinking it is right to do that. So, problem kids comes from the home of problem parents. What I mean is, whatever is the orientation of the kids in the home that is what they will do also outside home. It is indeed embarrassing.

Hmnnnnn......seems a little "karma"....kidding! but you see, sometimes its really tru that what we sow is what we reap. I know you never taught your daughter such manner but maybe you are so unaware of some of your bad actions and you never cared them to be seen by your child.
Remember that children are very inquisitive and fast learner and very adoptive too. What they learned and what they see are absolute to them; they tend to believe that everything they say and do are right specially when they got it from their parents.
Its quite embarrassing but its not yet too late to correct it. Happy parenting!
