Maile: Mom? Who sings that song about Scream and Shout?
Me: Brittany Spears and Will. I. Am.
Maile: Can you play it?
Me: No, I don’t have that one on my phone and there’s a bad word in it anyway so I’m not excited about you singing it.
Maile: I know what the bad word is. Brittany bitch. My friend told me bitch is a bad word. Is that right Mom? Is bitch the bad word Mom?
Me: Yes, now that’s enough, it really isn’t a nice word to be saying.
Maile: …Well I like that word.
Laina: I THOUGHT SHE WAS SAYING PITCH!
Mama Melch says
Does that make Will the catcher?
My husband recently started taking song requests from our girls in the car & we really need to work on their taste too. I cannot hear Gangnam Style or Call Me Maybe again.

Tortured in Indiana, this makes me laugh out loud!

We had to stop listening to that song in the car with my 2 year old. It was on one day and he asked me “Mom, what b*tch?” And I was all, “hey, LOOK at that cool truck!” I was so mad because for a while when the song came on the radio, it said Britney, Britney, instead of cursing, then all of a sudden it was Britney, b*tch. WHY?!?!?

I thought that was all she said until I watched the music video. Thank you for providing it.
It’s a shame because it’s not necessary. There is another song by Pink and I wish I could recall the lyrics oh no wait, Bruno Mars! Locked out of Heaven, what a catchy tune. You’re rocking along and then he’s talking about “your sex takes me to paradise.” Really dude? I can’t have my 4 year old or 6 year old singing that either!
Jen says
Hahahaha…
But oh my! You drive without seat belts?! My Oh My Oh My!

This is hysterical!
It’s definitely an issue I’m running into as well with my oldest…still trying to figure out how to navigate…
marie says
Hysterical and oh, so awesome.
Jenni Chiu @ MommyNaniBooboo says
It will now and forever be in my head as “pitch”. I like it.
Arnebya says
My 9 yr old asked me why she says it, “is there a clean version?” I had to laugh. My husband gets them regular radio music but sometimes gets the uncut version and doesn’t know it until the bitches start flying.
Tasha says
Watching that video makes me feel very old.

I am proud to say that my children know all the bad words thanks to their trash-talking mom. It’s really coming back to bite me in the you-know-what (see how I’m editing myself now?) Yesterday they were in the car quizzing each other on whether they knew what the “middle finger word” is. Two of the three didn’t! I’m doing such a great job with them.
Jenny says
Love it. My poor son know more cuss words then he should cause Mamma talks like her Grandma. The sailor just comes out in me and then I realize their are children in the room. Whoops my bad ;)
Angela says
Too funny! We sing this song in the car and I turn the volume down when she says bitch. I kind of get shocked at what can be played on the radio and what they bleep out. My kids go around singing the bleeped versions of songs it’s so weird–like the Thrift Store song they sing “this is mmm-ing awesome” and they have no idea what it really says. It’s so hella-wrong!
Marta says
Ha. Okay so after I read this I watched the scream and shot YouTube and then a few more Britney videos since I was there anyone and the songs have been stuck in my head all day long!!
Gigi says
How sad is it that I get all my pop culture references here? I’d never heard this song before now.
laura says
That’s too funny! We’ve had a conversation with S-word and Echo Sister repeating away.
Miriam Gomberg says
Loving the baseball hat! It really suits her.
The lovely one says
On the local radio here, it says “Britney Britney,” so I didn’t even know it said B!tch until I downloaded it for my daughter’s 7th birthday party this weekend. Oops.
Brandie says
We have similar conversations I’m afraid to say LOL. And was that Bel, Biv, Devoe in that video?
Kay @MommyFabulous says
This makes me laugh. We can’t listen to the radio anymore without the bad words coming out. I’m glad my kiddos are a little older (8, 10 and 13) and know the difference. Although, my 13 year old is the one who always is in Laina’s shoes. Thankfully.
Donetta says
This is too funny. I’d actually never listened to this song. Pretty catchy. I have a potty mouth and I honestly haven’t ever censored songs when I’m listening to them. For the most part though, my 11 year old and 7 year old don’t cuss during the songs. They’re not shocked to hear the bad word and so I believe in a way, that takes the ‘wow’ factor from cussing. I could be wrong. My 6th grader may go to school around friends and curse worse than Eminem. The “Pitch” part is cute. lol
