Speaker 1 (00:01):
What you got, Garla. Okay, so listen to this, Steve,
my friends, a lot of us appearents. You know, we
hang out, we do things together with our children. So
the latest discussion is at what age should you teach
your child how to curse or say bad words?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well, you shouldn't teach them. There's no age when you
should teach them bad words because bad words are not necessary.
It all depends on circumstance and environment. Cussing is an environmental,
circumstantial thing that you have to be able to participate in.
And every circumstance and all environments do not require cussing.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
You need to be able.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So it's not a good time for the situations will
bring out the child when it's necessary.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Okay, So it's not.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
For you to decide I'm gonna teach my child cuse
I never taught any of my kids to cuss.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
My father never taught me to cuss. I just picked
it up. Okay, so you overheard it, and you just
for me personally.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
The decision to use cussing a little bit more regularly
was somewhere around nine. Yees see, nine is when I
started implementing.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, pretty young. By twelve.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I was you know, I wasn't It wasn't really fun good.
I was just throwing it out there. But I had
a lot more situations, and all I got the more
useful and more timely and more situations presented themselves. So
that's how I did it. So I don't say that
there's an age that you give a child.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, here's why I'm asking this because I know a
lot of people look uncomfortable with this questions. But it's
a different time for these kids and going into school.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It's just been.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Tough with a group of people that we hang with
with their kids. So they were saying they want to
teach their children how to say blank, you be get
out my face in a situation of bullying. So yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Them that I don't think it's necessary.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
See, here's the problem calling your little crew that y'all
go to school with. Y'all suburban parents, y'all parents, y'all
from the hood, but y'all have become suburbanized and you
all are suburban parents. So now you've you've tried to
remain bugey and you're trying to live up to your status.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Status in life now. But your colleague.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And you're trying to know when to implement hoodism into
your kids, and your kids don't really need that, and
so you've got to teach them other ways. I don't
recommend teaching seriously, do not recommend teaching cussing to kids,
because I mean, it's it's gonna backfire, you know. I mean,
(03:02):
you don't teach them negative behavior.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Did I teach my children to take care of themselves? Yeah,
but I found out I was doing it for no reason.
Somebody hit you. Everybody go down there. My kids ain't
down the street fighting and then come home and you
go get all your brothers and go.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Back down there. My kid don't look. Matter of fact,
the house too far away.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I wanted to tell my sons that, but they went
to school where they ain't fight.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Cause they ain't fight you. They talk about your Instagram.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Even had my daddy took me to get my cousin
said that was training. That was my daddy took me
over there because we were They weren't fighting in my neighborhood,
but over there my cousin every day every said by
twelve thirty, yeah, get tore up.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's how you grew up.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's like you said how we grew up and how
we're parenting and how our children are growing up.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
It's just a two it's two different.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Worlds, and it's and it's some parenting that just doesn't
apply today, and then a lot of it does, but
you all have removed it because of your new way.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
But your kids are suburban kids.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
So when the bullying goes down in school, how do
you teach them how to cuss? You ain't got to
teach them how to cuss. You got to get the
bully out your face. You don't get the bully out
your face by cussing. There's a physical activity that can
get the bully out. Now, if you don't want to
teach the physical activity, then you got to go with
(04:32):
something else. But bullies don't respond to get your blankety
blank out my blankety blank. They don't cause they bullies.
Hell they they one told you I'm beIN to put
my blankety blank in your blankety blank. Now you sell
a little pot, what's your comeback? See, it's hard to
outcuss a bully, So you got to teach your children
(04:53):
the other things.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But I don't recommend teaching your children.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
How to talk bad to people because that doesn't work
because it's talk.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Just eventually, if once you talk bad, you had to
bag some of it up.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Did your parents have put motivation behind you behind the bully, like,
if you don't wolf his, I'm yours.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Yeah, that was the motivation I had again again.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, what what you're crying for?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah? Yeah, come home crying one long time.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I'm gonna give you something to cry about. They I'm
gonna take you down there. My brothers then took me
back down the street to fight Manny. Me and Mannick
got in four fights in one day. Me and Manny
was through with it. Man hit in the picture right
up there, the dude with the hat on with the
gold jacket standing. That what they name in my street,
my boy Manny. We fought full time. One Me and
(05:44):
Manny was through. After the first fight, our brothers and
sisters got involved. Rose Calhoun bought Manny back up to
my house to beat me up.
