We had a major tantrum from my 9-year old yesterday because he was banned from his favourite web site, Club Penguin, for 24 hours for breaking the rules. He was doing particularly well at Card-Jitsu in the Dojo (don’t ask) and meant to write “I can’t be beaten” but actually typed “I cunt be beaten”. The poor kid was instantly booted off with a great sense of injustice.He’s now counting the minutes til he’s allowed back on….

Been there, done that.
Hi Jennifer,
He's been on Binweevils instead but he doesn't like that as much. His brothers have been tormenting him because they can still play Club Penguin. Never a dull moment in this house...
I blame the parents.
So did he as it happens.
It's a bad rap. Three days in solitary for a mispelling. Almost everybody mispells or mistypes a word here or there now and then. I dunt, but many others do.
How did you explain his wrongdoing Mick? With a comprehensive and fulsome reflection I trust?
In the classier areas of Yorkshire, the spoken 'A cunt' is the standard abbreviation of 'I could not'. As in
'I cunt', he declared.
You cunt?' she replied.
'No, I just cunt' he insisted.
24 hours is only one day over here Darkdance but I'm guessing you squeeze 3 days of living into 1.
Dick,
It's quite sweet really that he was totally bemused. He's all too familiar with the F-word having witnessed me having various domestic mishaps.
I know a bit about you northern types too. I worked in Teeside for a while about 20 years ago and had a confusing conversation with a 'lass' in our office when I proclaimed I was hungry. It was a bit like:
"Why, what's wrong?"
"Well, er, I haven't eaten.."
"Well don't get upset about it, buy a sandwich..."
She was all concerned and convinced I'd just told her I was angry. It wasn't exactly like that but you get the idea.
No, you cunt.
Yes, I could.
etc .. repeat to fade.
Oh how the innocence slips away. Embrace the heartwarming times.
I know you said 24 hours, but your screen shot shows 3 hours, which I misread as 3 days. You confused me. I'm not very bright, you know. Plus, I'm still trying to sort out if Yuka is male or female.
Yes, DD, I was hoping for some sort of consensus on Yuka's sexuality. I'm leaning towards female because of the name and picture (enlarge it and you'll see what I mean) but my ears hear a camp Russell Mael type. I've got another WTF? coming soon...
About Yuka, I just cunt tell.
and this used to be a family blog...
My little girl said "Fucking hell!" the other day. I plead innocence to the wife but the fact that she said it with a pronounced London accent (even dropping the 'H' on 'Hell') marked me as the guilty party.
it's called crack penguin in our house
surely he is cunting the minutes?
Good to see you back.. :)
Won't someone think of the children!
Meanwhile, weeks later....
