9-Year-Old Girl Takes On McDonald's CEO
Denise Albert: Mamarazzi
Courteney Cox's daughter has a potty mouth
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Rumors
I've noticed lately that Ellie has taken a phrase that I say often and made it her own. I actually didn't realize I was beginning many sentences with "I'm guessing" until she started doing it. As in, "I'm guessing you aren't going to let me have ice cream for breakfast." Or, "I'm guessing I can't wear flip-flops to school today."
Fortunately, I don't say what I consider to be 'bad words' in front her. It's not that I never use questionable language - I do. But I must have some internal switch that turns them off when she's around because I can't recall a single time I have slipped and said something I didn't mean to in front her. Well, except that one time when I wrecked my car.
I'm guessing (ha ha) that either Courteney Cox or her husband David Arquette has a faulty internal cuss-word switch. According to sources close to the Dirt star, Cox's three year old daughter Coco has picked up some no-no words and isn't afraid to use them. "She's only 3, but Coco's somehow learned to cuss like a sailor," says the source. "Coco thinks it's funny and goes right on swearing. Courtney's just hoping she'll outgrow it."
She may not outgrow it. Some of us never do. And it won't be all that cute or funny when she starts cussing at her teacher and expanding the vocabulary of her classmates.

ame s said...Oh please! Grow out of it? I have an idea: Courtney and David could do some actually do some parenting and punish her until she stops. Swearing is not cute in a kid, it is obnoxious at any and every age.

Cynthia said...Of course they'll should be trying to curb that behavior, but if she is mimicking words her parents are saying, that is their fault, not hers. It is clear to me they need to make her understand that is not acceptable, but they need to understand they created the problem. If I stub my toe and say **** and my toddler repeats what I said ad infinitum, who caused that? Work on the source.

This story was also reported by a tabloid, no? Grain of salt and all that...

Marcia said...I don't understand the need for such words in the first place. I never swore when I was younger because I was taught it was disrespectful. To this day, I will not use swear words around my parents or other family members out of respect and I may say "damn it!" once or twice a month otherwise. I think there are other words I can use to express my thoughts, ones that I don't have to worry about my toddler repeating. I hope to instill this into her as well.

Tree said...My son said "damn" the other day, in very casual way using his super sweet voice. Yeah, he got it from me, that's right, I take full responsibility. My internal cuss-word switch got broken somewhere between labor and potty training. :)

missy said...Its told by a source, so probably its not even true, like every tabloid article isn't. And even if it was i think Courteney and David know very well what to do, everyone here talks like they are their therapists, they are great parents who are trying like every other parent is, so give them some credit and let them figure it out on their own please.
