Yep. It's the f-word.

Attempting to keep a clean mouth when there's little kids around is no easy task if you often use colorful language.

Well, one father just learned his lesson on that front.

As a former U.S. Marine, James LaPorta admits that he should really cut some swearing out of his everyday language in front of his soon-to-be 2 year old. But old habits die hard, and well, lesson learned.

"As a former U.S. Marine, now a father, there is perhaps one word I should try to cut out of my vernacular around my soon-to-be 2 year old," LaPorta wrote on Twitter along with a video of his kid using the word "fuck" in just about every tone imaginable.

As one person pointed out on Twitter, it's as if you can see LaPorta think "fuck" to himself every single time his kid says it.

Looks like LaPorta has some explaining to do.
