Subject: Is my child learning to swear in the kings english?



Frytown, Iowa
After many TTT "Thomas the train" episodes my son learns all the sayings from Thomas. In almost every episode Thomas "goes off the tracks" which is huge in real life but apparently not a big deal in TTT land... Every time Thomas goes off the tracks (or anything bad happens) there is a saying "bust my bumpers!)

My son has been saying this in every occasion now...
Spill his drink? Bust my bumpers!
Can't watch another Thomas show? Bust my bumpers!
Toy gets taken away? Bust my bumpers!
Can't go play upstairs? Bust my bumpers!
Time to take a bath? Bust my bumpers!
No candy because you didn't finish your plate? Bust my bumpers!


He even plays "off the tracks" where he purposely puts toy Thomas in a crashed position then says Bust my bumpers!

Now I know that some kings english swear words are not recognized as swear words over here in the land of the free, like "bloody" is apparently a bad swear word in the kinds english. Maybe comparable to the "f" word here? Well my son is using "bust my bumpers" in a manner that sounds all too similar to "sonnofab...!"

Am I to be concerned of the subliminal messages Thomas is relaying to my son? Learning kings english swear words at such a young age?
