My brother was teasing my 3.5 year old today. He kept telling her a fox was outside, and she was freaking out that she couldn't see it (there was no fox). She finally caught on that he was teasing her, turns to him and says:
"I don't see any fucking fox. Stop lying."
I had a hard time scolding her with a straight face. That F-bomb was dropped like a pro, and he kind of earned it.

Proud papa.
The funniest part is I can picture the whole thing playing out, and the look on her face when she said it.
Now...
Where the fuck'd she learn such language
RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

God help me, my kids are going to cuss like sailors. If I'm lucky, their first words won't be the f-word. They'd probably be better off if I just didn't speak for the next twenty years.

In my house... literally. The portuguese word for cow sounds just like "fucka", as does the word for knife. More than once we've attracted attention at a restaurant when our daughter starts hollering "Fucka! Da me Fucka!" or when we're out and about and she sees a cow... "Fucka! Fucka!"

Vaca = cow Faca = Knife
To me the first a in Vaca/Faca sounds more like the a in "army", making faca sound closer to "farker" than "fucker".
Maybe it's a regional dialect thing, I believe Gatinha is from Rio De Janeiro.

She's just talking the way so many people talk these days. I guess that to them it's not even a swear word, it's just a word used to express surprise, disappointment, impatience, etc. If she had been 10 or even 20 years older, her use of the word in this sort of context would have been completely unremarkable.
