Abstract

This paper discuss the obscene childhood, one of childhood culture expression,
consisting on different jokes, riddles, rhymes, drawings shared between children pair groups, that adults
understands being obscene. In the dialogue with academic production about the theme on childhood
folklore, sociology of childhood and psycholinguist studies, the research consisted on an observation
on classroom daily life of a group of children between 6 and 7 years old in a private school. It was
possible to identify that the theme did not take place on school daily life, only being developed in a
schooling situation, conducted by the teacher. On that occasion, using adults’ fragments, children tried
to understand bad words meanings, uses and the causes of its interdiction. It was possible to identify
the singularity of the group perspective, related to their socio-cultural background.
