I believe the more fuss you make of such things the more attractive they become to children so I think you've done exactly right with small sprog as long as he realises he must not use such words in everyday language. :)Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-24546679039806335652008-12-07T10:18:00.000+00:002008-12-07T10:18:00.000+00:00A visit to the vet is so expensive!

It's a bit more confusing for youngsters to understand the rules.<BR/><BR/>My eldest was fascinated by the t shirts, with rude words, when he was an older teenager. He worked part time and so had his own money. One day he wore a t shirt, with B*****KS on the back in ENORMOUS letters. We had a lengthy discussion about it and when he was bolshy, it got lost in the wash. Not before my neighbour had managed to see it and put in a complaint, however!! After that, I considered wearing it myself, just to piss my neighbour off. ;0)Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-50561988126974123902008-12-07T08:03:00.000+00:002008-12-07T08:03:00.000+00:00Hi Sub, I think that's a very fine take on the use...Hi Sub, I think that's a very fine take on the use of the F word with your children, and great that SS has not let you down.

My poor mom--she didn't know what it meant but knew it probably wasn't polite and advised me to refrain from using words if I didn't know their meaning. Wise words. <BR/><BR/>Ha, ha...my word verification is "do love".

LOL<BR/><BR/>I seem to be surrounded at school by nit children. Some seem to have a continual problem and no one seems to take it seriously like when I was a kid. They would have been banned from the school & from playing with anybody. Isn't it better today!<BR/><BR/>Got to go & take a shower & wash my hair!
