I had to have a conversation with my 6 and 7 year old about the word ASS the other day at the zoo because there was an animal named the Somolian Wild Ass. And they can read now. Well, they can read ass anyway. So, they went around the zoo ALL DAY asking questions about the Somolian Wild ASS just so they could say the word. I had to tell them sometimes Ass is used to describe a mule or donkey type animal. Oh my gosh! My 6 year old wold tell EVERYONE we saw for DAYS afterwards about the Somoilan Wild ASS! It was hard not to laugh.<br /><br />Yeah, we have graduated from be quiet to shut up in this house. Stupid is a pretty regular word. Butt is SO MUCH better than ass. <br /><br />Doesn't mean I am happy about the language, though.<br /><br />Pick your battles, right?<br /><br />KEEP BELIEVINGAngie @ KEEP BELIEVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930977696454848345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-81419911046051279442009-05-05T12:19:00.000-07:002009-05-05T12:19:00.000-07:00Love the new look!

But I tell her, Butt is a vulgar word. Just say fanny or hiney or patoot or bottom or... there are so many choices! Plus, letting "butt" into acceptable conversation opens the door for "butt head" "Butt breath" "Butt face" etc. even after that explanation she still thinks I'm crazy, but she respects my decision.Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039056206420438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-8716251117654481312009-05-04T13:38:00.000-07:002009-05-04T13:38:00.000-07:00I have to confess that a fart has been a fart for ...I have to confess that a fart has been a fart for some time in my house. I have taken a forthright approach to words. That is, if the word is functional and pretty accurate, well, then use it. Really, is there another word that describes a fart so accurately and gives the appropriate level of disgust?! If a word is to be avoided, isn't it because some related 'act' is to be avoided? If we can avoid farting in situations... then we can avoid saying "fart"... But when it happens? Call it like it is!! And move on.<br /><br />As for "What the ...?!" and "suck"... my girls are way past preschool and those are still out of the question! According to my rule we won't be needing those words until we have some reason to discuss the actions that go with... When I started in on the explanations, they decided they could manage to get their point across without those terms. <br /><br />This rule solved my "douche bag" problem after a single incident. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-49898793115467434232009-05-04T13:13:00.000-07:002009-05-04T13:13:00.000-07:00We say 'pas gas'.
