So I got a call from the principal today. (dun dun duuuuun) She's in first grade for pete's sake! Maybe I should consider home schooling now, save myself from the heartache of the next 11 years. Too bad I don't have that sort of patience. Dangit!
Anyway, apparently, my seven year-old found a bad word written on the back the bus seat in front of her. Not just any bad word mind you, the F word. Let's add insult to injury and say that it's not only the F word but has "You" tacked right there on the end. Oh geez!
So my little reader sees this in front of her and proceeds to read out loud for all to hear and laughter ensues from all. She perceives this attention as a good thing and keeps repeating it, over and over. Insert the mental picture of my little 7 year old yelling "F*** you! F*** you! F***you!" Ohhhh, bad.
This is the same girl who refuses to say Crap and calls it the "ept word" or the "K word". (funny that she knows what f-u-c-k spells but can't spell crap) I know that she knows that it's wrong and we went through the "shit" stage years ago.
So i have just concluded my hour long lecture on cuss words. No shit, fuck, damn, ass, etc. (yes, dam is okay) I have acknowledged my own affinity for cussing. I tried that whole "I am 26 years old and you are not". Ultimately, here goes my attempt on cleaning up my language. Fruitless? I hope not.

Since Aidan's picking up new words on a daily basis now, we've begun to really watch our mouths around him. You never know what he'll say next!
I'm hoping all this hard work on my part pays off and he doesn't have a potty mouth (like Mom and Dad, ha!)
