A little girl and her daycare teacher have gone viral after the inventive way the girl's mom devised to get her to stop swearing around other kids.
The mom made a rule that her daughter could be led into the daycare bathroom to curse like a longshoreman in private in order to get it out of her system—and boy did she.
In a TikTok video, Pennsylvania daycare worker Tina Midkiff filmed the potty-mouthed torrent of invective the little girl unleashed at the bathroom mirror, and it is relatable to basically everyone alive.
@mommaevilone Mom approved post!
In the video, Midkiff leads the little girl into the bathroom and then tells her:
“Since we’ve had some issues with cussing, we’re only going to cuss in the bathroom."
“We’re not cussing anywhere but in the bathroom. And we’re not going to give the finger anywhere but in the bathroom."
"Because we can't teach our little friends that we're doing this, okay?"
"Okay!" the little girl responds, nodding her head full of curls.
What happens next is a virtuosic string of profanity that would make even the likes of George Carlin jealous.
"What the f**k, motherf**ker? Shut the f**k up, motherf**ker... Like, b**ch! Come on b**ch!""
Midkiff then knocked on the door and asked if the little girl was done and she answered pointedly, "No!" and kept right on hurling profanity at the mirror.
"B**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch b**ch! Only say b**ch in the bathroom, b**ch!"
Midkiff then asked if she was done again and this time, the little girl felt like she had definitely gotten her day's worth of f**ks and b**ches. After a kiss on the forehead from "Miss Tina," off she went to rejoin her class.
Naturally, the video instantly went viral, racking up more than 16 million views as of this writing.
And both "Miss Tina" and the little girl have become internet sensations among people who definitely relate to the need to go to the bathroom and scream invective now and then.
@MrsJellySantos No bc she\u2019s learning how to regulate her emotions and using language to effectively do so. More adults need to try this.\n\ud83d\udc4c\ud83c\udffe— (@)
Sometimes you do just need to get it out of your system!
