What to do when your four year old swears!

Tee loves singing. She loves singing so much that she is almost always singing. She loves making up lyrics too, quite a composer she is. She has figured out how to rhyme words and constantly asks if the words rhyme and if it is a good song. *roll eyeballs*

Recently, she’s had a new CD (and a new PINK CD PLAYER!!! which was a birthday gift from a group of dear friends) with a tune she loves so much that she keeps singing it over and over. She finds it funny when she puts her own lyrics into the tune. Unfortunately, I doubt you’d know the tune as it isn’t a common song, it’s called Baby Bumble Bee. Do you know it? The original lyrics:

I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee,
Won’t my Mommy be so proud of me,
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee,
Ouch! It stung me!

Tee was singing it today mixing all kinds of word like:

I’m eating in the basement, can’t you see…………..or
I’m dancing in the basement, can’t you see………….or
(not quite sure what the fascination with basements is but perhaps because she was singing this in the basement parking lot just when I parked the car)

I’m twirling in the basement, can’t you see………..and then,
I’m fucking in the basement, can’t you see……

I thought I’d misheard but just in case it wasn’t ‘farting’ because I was quite sure I heard the distinct ‘K’ sound; I went,“What did you say!!!?????!!!!!” whilst the entire floor vibrated.

She stops immediately and whispers, “Nothing.”

“What did you say?! I heard you singing, repeat what you sang!”I probed.

I could tell I wasn’t going to get a straight answer. Hmmmm, I wonder why…..

“No, nothing” came her stubborn reply. Thus after a series of asking her in various ways each time with my voice getting louder and higher, I finally took a deep breath.

“Tell me what you sang. I’m serious. I want you to tell me what you said.” I had toned down and asked her with an earnest face. She looked at me all doe eyed and said she sang the word that she wasn’t supposed to say, so she couldn’t tell me what it was.

Oh, brilliant. My fear was real.

*roll eyeballs ten times at pinball pace*

My girl knows the ‘F’ word. And she even knows that she is not allowed to say it. Where did she learn it from????

I didn’t ask her to repeat it, rather just warned her not to say it again.

“Okay, Mommy.”

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
Show your support and spread the love!
