Wehavedefinitelycrossedalinehere.

Yesterday, my middle schooler told me he’d watched a South Park Episode called “Eat, Pray, Queef.” At Dad’s house. In my defense.

I kept my hands at ten and two on the wheel and asked, “Do need me to define any of that for you?”

“Um, no.”

“That’s fantastic.”

“Mom, are you okay?”

“We must never speak of this again.”

“Maybe that’s best.”

I had to Google it. And it would be at Dad’s, wouldn’t it?

We’ve had min belches from Dad at the dinner table to make the kids laugh. Oh he’s tried to lecture afterward, but somehow that part’s not effective ...

Middle schoolers can come up with anything at any time. That’s what makes them so special.

You have a way with dialogue, that’s for sure!

My kids want to watch “Family Guy.” And even though I sometimes spit up my food laughing while I watch it, I won’t let them. Of course my oldest is only in third grade and he already sounds like he rummaged through the garbage for all his latest phrases.

Is South Park worse than Family Guy?

Oh, no no no. 

I’m a Dad and I must admit there is something terribly alluring about the show.  It’s like looking at an auto accident when you really don’t want to. 

I remember the first time I saw South Park, many years ago.  A buddy and I were looking for a movie to watch.  The South Park movie had just opened.  I had never seen the show but thought, “ok, let’s go.”

Oh, how we laughed.  Mainly because it looked innocent but went to those places you don’t expect it to go.

So there, I’ve admitted it.  But let my kids watch?  Oh, no no no.

Yes, though I had to think about it for a minute. Family Guy is freaken hilarious, but South Park… that’s the kind of stuff I’m petrified my kids will blurt out in public. And Team America World Police is the bomb, though I am ashamed to admit how much I laughed and at which parts.

Durka, durka.

Shhh.

Yes, some things are best forgotten.

AAAAH! My daughter is only a toddler, and I am already dreading this kind of stuff. How awkward and frustrating!

I remember the day my daughter told me what “queef” meant.  She also had to explain to me what a “camel toe” was.  Though I think she was about 16 at the time.

I thought I knew it all but apparently not.

Okay, I am a former middle school teacher, mom of five and nana of one and I don’t know what “queef” means and not real sure I want to. I was watching tv with my granddaughter one night and searching for cartoons when we ran across South Park. “Here’s one” I said to my four year old granddaughter. Didn’t take me long to realize I had goofed!

Rolling, just rolling on the floor. So funny and so appreciated the response. Excellent parenting. I also use the ostrich-head-in-the-sand parenting program. It works best for my stress levels.

That is hilarious!  We’ve got a “dad’s house” too - where things go just the same!  I teach middle school - so I know what they are thinking about.  Yours was brave to tell you.  Your response was SPOT ON PERFECT!  I gotta remember and use that one!

Wow!  South Park is definately a no no in this house. I did see one once when I was in highschool that was pretty funny, but I cannot believe the language and things that most have in them,, and so many kids think it’s hilarious!

Thanks, Barbara, I never know what’s going to work and what isn’t!

It’s a HUGE joke now. We say that about almost everything, which sort of dilutes the purpose, but is funny.

“Do we have any milk?”

“I forgot to pick some up.”

“We must never speak of this again.”

This must have been very, awkward.  I have had too many of these before.
