Today, my child called me a...

[lizajane]

chum bucket.

i am a bucket of bloody shark bait.

beat that for a mother-son moment of love!

[MacMacMoo]

ahh the more important question is what does he think a chum bucket is

[bubbaray]

A bucket of salmon? (here, chum is a particular species of salmon).

I'm hoping he meant it in a good way.... ;)

[C99]

I am guessing that he meant "scum bucket," but that's just a guess.

he meant bucket of bloody shark bait.

Hmmm, I'm not sure whether I'd rather be called a "scum bucket" or "chum bucket." Cute.

[bubbaray]

yeah, no kidding.... Ewwwww.

Oh Man, But at least it's original.

I was thinking too much Sponge Bob -
had to cut that show out of our lives!

[gatorsmom]

I was just thinking how impressed I am with his vocabulary. If one of my kids said that to me I know I'd give them a high 5 and say how proud I am of them for their vocab.

Then, right after that I'd be asking if they meant that in a good way. ;)

Lol, well it could've been worse, I thought you were going to say he said a bad swear word. I'm take chum/scum bucket of a lot of other things. My 3.5 yr old calls ppl (including me), Mr. Boosthoff when he is mad at that person. It has been driving my DH and I crazy, b/c we have no clue who Mr. Boosthoff is. Is he imaginary, or is he a character from some book? Either way, it's obvious that it's meant as an insult of some sort...

[babybunny]

My DS calls us "Poopy Diaper heads" when he is really mad (i.e. doesn't get his way). DH thinks it's awesome that he came up with the toddler version of "sh*ithead". Great.

[fortato]

I'm sort of disappointed... I thought he would dig deeper... (J/K!!)

Chum Bucket... I guess it really could be worse.

At least he is original! This morning DD1 called me a "mean poopy head" and followed it up with an "I hate you," just because I wouldn't fix her a new bowl of cereal after she changed her mind and wanted a different kind. Someone please remind me why I wanted three kids.

[JBaxter]

WOW... That would NEVER fly at my house. Im the mom of 4 boys and I view calling me something like that as TOTAL disrespect. There would have been some serious repercussion for lipping off in that manner.

[misshollygolightly]

Yeah, not too sure how to take that! But I have to say that the alliteration is fairly impressive ("bucket...bloody...bait...") :ROTFLMAO: Obviously don't know the circumstances, but I'd guess he was just tickled with the words and the way they sound put together. Kids tend to latch on to funny-sounding phrases and go around repeating them a lot, regardless of the (in)appropriateness of the meaning to the situation!

[Corie]

I think it's time to turn off Spongebob!

[julymommy]

Thanks for posting - that made me laugh so hard. I love it. I think I am going to start using that - so original.

My son fired me yesterday. "You do not have a job as my mother anymore! You are FIRED!" This is not a child who has any idea who Donald Trump is, FWIW. And he still didn't get the d@mn ice cream he was whining for.
