potty mouth

Swearing is all well and good until you have to teach your toddler to say shoot instead of...well, you know.

I have the mouth of a trucker. One more thing I'm not proud of. Though I will say that I don't really find swearing offensive. I feel that curses are just words like any other but somebody arbitrarily decided they were bad. You may as well say cake or slipper. However, I do know that other people find some words offensive so it seems to me it's best not to encourage your kids to say them. They can take that up as teenagers.

Unfortunately I'm excessively klutzy and upon stubbing my toe or dropping my wineglass on the new carpet I tend to holler expletives so Medium and Large are no stranger to my potty mouth. Large knows better and never bats an eye when trash comes out of my mouth but Medium has taken to using the S word. My bad.

Luckily, at this stage everything is a phase and only last 3 weeks so I don't think it's necessary to start washing his mouth out with soap just yet.
