when I was very young (still in diapers and just learning to talk), my parents were in a restaurant with me. They'd been going through the whole, "who am i? "mama!" and so on to get me to say mama and daddy. My mom reached down and tugged on a sock, saying, "what's this?" and i said, very happily, "shit."
Apparently my mom was at a loss for a moment, and my dad thought it was hilarious. He kept leaning over and happily encouraging me, "what is this??" and again and again i'd repeat "shit. shit! shit!" as he tugged on my foot. Apparently there was a lot of nearby chuckling from other patrons.
Another time, maybe a year older, my mom honked the car horn at someone for cutting her off in traffic, and I apparently reacted immediately to the horn, blurting out, "asshole!" I don't think she cursed in traffic again until I was in high school. lol
