She went through a phase about 6 weeks ago of saying
“Whaaat the fuuuck!”
She’s a smart kid. She knows I don't like her mid Atlantic accent she gets from Youtube and TikTok. I’m very English English. Everyone thinks I’m dead posh. I just have an Oxford Uni accent - L having that with Bangkok Thai accent bilingual is the aim.
She knew it was wrong so she trialled it over a few days but stressing the more US accent and tailing off. Or using “What the dfffheeek” instead. Pushing boundaries. Me & Co were listening instantly, just exchanged looks. Eventually she went full on and she got told off but told why she wasn’t to use it. She’s stopped since although she nearly accidentally said it a couple of days ago in front of us and scrambled over it - looked at us and said sorry with a legit contrite looking grin.
Our house is generally a cacophony of wtf’s and ffs’s from yours truly. She’s young but at home its all teenagers and at school she’s 18 months younger than half her class because that’s where she fits (there are Russian, Chinese and Israelis who are 6 two classes below par because English) She's gonna learn the words sometime, right? Might as well learn sooner rather than later; its inappropriate for her, not funny, big or clever. I guarantee another kid curses at school she’ll be telling them off for it with her precocious little hands on hips, she likes a finger wag too!
We have a vested interest in our little corner of the village. We’re not having a good run the last few weeks. But yeah not really a journal story!
