What a 3-Year-Old Girl Will Do To A Monster

When this 3-year-old girl was asked what she was going to do if a monster came after her, the girl's answer was far more intelligible than the recent Miss South Carolina hubbub.

Here's what she's going to do: Hit play or go to Link [YouTube] - Thanks Travis W!


This girl was a guest on the Ellen Degeneris (sp?) show as a result of this. She got a pink power wheels jeep with her name on it and a couple other bits of fun loot.

Am I the only one who sees this video as a beautiful portrayal of the hypocrisy of designating certain words as profanity?

The phrase "kick his butt" has exactly the same meaning as "kick his ass" (well, where I'm from we use the word arse, but the essence is the same).

So, seriously, someone give me a single plausible reason why "ass" is a bad word and "butt" isn't.

She's very cute, it's fuuny, but I don't think it's good to play up this kind of behavior with our kids. If my children use words that aren't appriopriate for their age I don't giggle, I just ask them nicely not to ue that word again. I'm trying to preserve their innocence as long as possible.

Boy, what great parents this kid has -- to not only accept but encourage and publicize a foul mouth.
And what a great society we live in where this video could make her a celebrity and earn her all sorts of loot and toys. Can't wait until the follow up when she's say six or so where she's cursing like a trucker and dropping f-bombs. WTF is wrong with people?

And Yak Boy, linguistic quibbles aside, as illogical as it seems, societies just have determined that some behaviors are polite, some are not. This kind of behavior in a child is, to me, nauseating.

Lighten up, people! My parents used to let me swear when I was a toddler and I turned out right as a rose.

Op, gotta go. One of the other inmates wants to use the internet.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic with that, I don't see how it's bad to allow the kid to curse as long as you're going to be a responsible parent about it. Obviously there's not going to be a youtube video of this woman punishing her child...that would be morbid. I'm sure the woman explained to her child right from wrong when the cameras were off.

And seriously, people need to lighten up about this because I've seen way worse parenting on the daily where I work (retail, of course) Like parents bringing their infants and young children in to rent movies at 12:45 am.

I'm sure she did NOT explain it to her kid once the cameras where off. Besides the kid already learned how *cute* she is to cuss because her mom laughed every time "while filming it!" Geez, when I was 3 I would be hit for saying ass (Although I didn't know that word then) things have changed so much for the worse. When did having class & manners become a bad thing?

Geez, you guys. "When I was a wee child, I would be beaten and starved for a week for swearing. And we LIKED it!!" The girl obviously didn't know "ass" is a "bad" word, and that's why it's funny. She probably heard one of her parents saying it and thought it must be okay if Mommy or Daddy say it. That's how 3-YEAR-OLDS think.

I think it's funny when kids curse. I don't like the concept of bad words. Most of them wouldn't be bad if we didn't stigmatize them. Kids learn a word is "bad" so they say it over and over. Who cares, kids love to be naughty, if they get a big reaction from doing something, they'll do it again. If the kid was actually full of rage and hate, that would be scary.

My mom told me a story about her high school boyfriend's little brother, she asked him how old he was and he said "Five." and she said "And what's your name?" and he said "Shut up motherfucker, I'm SUPERMAN!" I think that's hilarious. Funnier than this kid. Man, you should hear what kids on the streets of Manhattan say sometimes. They're amazing.

your primitive notions of manners and class amuse us. our language changes and grows and it always has, even the most polite of conversation today would be considerd most profane 100 years ago. there will always be people behind the curve of popular language, those people will in many situations just be spoken to diffrently to avoid conflict, but it wont slow down the evolution of the english language. -dave .p

Where's the Duct Tape? If I ever said that in front of my dad, I'd have MY arse (arse is such a nice word) kicked. But that's because I'm 13, and "kids aren't supposed to do that.

But I do it anyway. Mom doesn't seem to care. ;)
