Toddlers don’t get enough credit for how funny they are. Even when (especially when?) they aren’t trying. One of the best moments as a parent is when your little one accidentally says a curse word for the first time — usually when they are innocently trying to say something like “truck,” and it turns into a different “uck” word. Or, they just repeat something they heard someone say not knowing what it means. The latter is what seemingly happened to Paris Hilton, when her 2-year-old son Phoenix said a naughty word. Hilton just happened to be filming the moment Phoenix said it, and her reaction will bring you to tears.
“When you think you’re capturing a sweet moment and then… ‘F-ck’” The Simple Life alum captioned a video on TikTok. Her camera is propped up on the kitchen table as her son eats lunch, and Hilton is leaning in to rest her forehead on his head. He reaches a finger into a bowl of corn, and just casually drops the f-bomb.
“F-ck,” Phoenix mutters, as Hilton immediately starts laughing. “Did you just hear that?” she asks someone off-camera while laughing.
Then to confirm what she heard was right, Hilton turns to Phoenix. “What did you just say?” He has the biggest smile on his face as he responds, “F-ck” in the cutest toddler voice. He just casually continues to eat while Hilton laughs in shock at her son’s colorful language.
Phoenix then repeats the word several times, with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face. He clearly loves his mom’s reaction and wants to keep making her laugh, even though he has no idea why what he’s saying is so funny. He is absolutely adorable!
“I know I shouldn’t laugh but I can’t help it! 🫣” the “Stars Are Blind” singer captioned the video. “Toddlers are actually little comedians 😂” Yes, they are!
People praised Hilton’s low-key response to the situation. “that’s how I imagined Paris Hilton as a mom 😂😂 laughing it off except of screaming 😍,” one person wrote. “and u can’t help but laugh even though u should say don’t say that 😂😂😂,” another commented. Hey, we’ve all been there, it’s OK!
“Ohhh… you’re growing an icon😭” one person pointed out.
Even mom Jenna Dewan could relate. “I have this exact same toddler moment on video too 😂,” she commented. It’s basically a parenting milestone!
Hilton, who shares Phoenix and 15-month-old daughter London with husband Carter Reum, opened up about feeling like a kid at heart in a Dec. 2024 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
“For me I feel grown up definitely with the babies, but I’m such a kid at heart that I don’t feel grown up in some ways,” the Paris in Love star shared. “But you have to because you’re a parent. But at the same time, I feel like I’ll just always have that kid at heart my entire life.”
Kids keep us young — and keep us laughing! — and it’s the best.
These celebrity parents have shared hilarious (and relatable) stories about their kids and curse words.
