There are certain words that are "bad" in our house, beyond the obvious.
I don't like to hear "stupid" or "hate". Audrey is picking up on these things as I have pointed out to her she shouldn't say those words.
Then she asked me if "America" was a bad word. Huh? At first, I didn't get it.
And then I realized what she was talking about.
I often say "God Bless America" in place of dammit.
And now she thinks "America" is a bad word.

I say Dear Jesus a lot. I'm sure Hudson is going to start picking that up any day now...
ROFL!
That is hilarious!!!!
That's funny :)
I say Jesus, Mary and Josephine a lot. And fricken. Fricken rolls out of my mouth A LOT. Morgan was looking for her Cinderella dress Monday and couldn't find it. Very quietly, I hear her say "Where IS the fricken thing?"
Part of me wanted to laugh. Which I did. Part of me wanted to reprimand her for saying a bad word. But, IS it a bad word? I told her it was a big people word and she shouldn't say it.
Ouch! I wouldn't have thought of it being viewed that way by young ears but it is a bit funny. :) I am the same way in that I don't like the word stupid or dumb being used in our home
that is classic!!!
We don't say "stupid" or "hate" either. Neither is necessary. However, my youngest just called my other child a "tool."
