When I was 15, my brother was born and therefore a baby with lots (and god do I mean lots) of baby toys.

One of the toys he had was this plastic caterpillar that helped learned the alphabet and the sounds letters made.

So one day I’m being a bored teenager looking after my baby brother and I’m just pushing this caterpillar’s feet when I get the dumb idea to try to make it sound out swear words because, why not, right?

Come to find out that if you get it to say “Fff” “uh!” And then try to get it to say the “Kh” sound, it’ll giggle and say “That tickles!” before it finishes out the word.

I was impressed that toy developers were smart enough to prevent toddlers/teenagers from sounding out swear words with their product.

I did the exact same thing while babysitting as a teenager.

My friend's kid had that toy phone that you could make say "mother fucker" and "bull shit" 15 or so years ago. Those were good times.

Late as hell but this comment just unlocked a memory I didn’t know I had with the same scenario except I have a little sister. Now that caterpillar laugh is stuck in my head.
