A few weeks ago Adelle called me a "silly ass." After me looking shocked for a couple of seconds she said, " what? It was in Peter Pan." Oops we've been reading that aloud and I didn't even think about what I was reading to her.
Then last week Adelle was sent to her room for something, I can't remember what, and when I told her to shut the door she said out loud to herself, "shut the **** door." Again after I looked shocked she said, "what? Harry Potter said it." She has been reading the Harry Potter books to herself in bed.
I talked to Joel about it and he said, " I guess we have to tell her all the words she can't say."
Very funny. Instead we talked about asking what words mean before using them. (she didn't know about those words) and trying to figure out whether the word was a good one to use or not from the context of the reading.
We didn't even have to send her to school to learn to swear. We gave her books to teach her!  |
