Does it bother you if someone tells you you shouldn't call your children KIDS?

What's your opinion?

Screw them. I can call my KIDS anything I want! :lol:

:agree:

Yep, I've heard other people rail about how we shouldn't call our "offspring" KIDS....

bleah to them.....that's what I say! :thanks:

Geez, if they get offended at the term kids they should hear what other names we have for them! One of my hubby's favorites is booger eatin' morons! :D

"Turd" is one of our favorites..... :thanks:

I tend to use THUGS.

Why would they be offended at kids? :dunno:

Yeah, well....this started with my mother chatting on MSN. Told her we were ALWAYS called and yelled at as kids. My kids are kids.

Turdknockers

My oldest is "Whistle-britches" 'cuz she *ahem* whistles through her britches so much. And it stinks! :fart:

And my youngest is "Snickelfritz". And if you call one by the wrong name, they'll both let you know!!!

Seriously??? :blink:

My grandmother used to call me that when I was little.......

Small world, eh?

Yeah - my mom used to call my brother and I that.

So "wretched animals" would probably be considered in poor taste by some?

Well, see KIDS are baby goats, yanno? So calling your children "kids" means you're calling them an animals name. But "children" is apparently more God-centered....

Is God offended if we call our children "baby goats"?
:P

When people correct my speech I say whatever I said more loudly usually leaning in their direction. and tell them to forcefully insert it in their bottoms sideways. I talk the way I want to talk they don't like it they don't have to listen.

Beautiful thing about the first amendment.. I can say and do damn near anything I want as long as it doesn't infringe on someone elses same right. Best thing about the First amendment. Nobody has to listen to me exercise my right.

I call mine boogers.

Is that your kids or your kids' favorite snack? :blink:

Funny you should mention that...

Sean was eating waffles after school today. I just happened to walk by while he was inserting his finger up his nose. booger. That's why they're boogers.

Luke's been into Dukes of Hazzard the past few weeks. Now everyone around here is a Dipstick! "You hush yer lil mouth there, ya dipstick!" :haha:

I remember dad calling us dipsticks, too.

I call mine Chitterlings..Not 'chitlin's" but pronounced like its spelled...
