Well Crap.  We parents are so creative.  When I want to use the “F” word, I don’t because I have kids and they hear and repeat everything.  I am always happy when my kids use language in its appropriate context, but there are some who frown upon cursing from the pre-school set.  Admit it–there is nothing cuter and funnier than when someone else’s kid curses.  HILARIOUS.

So we were at the Magic House yesterday.  After we parked I was not fast enough getting out of the car and I hear Noah laughing. I get up an I hear “Lets get out of the frickin car.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing” says the little boy sheepishly.

“You don’t say that word Noah.”

‘Well you do.”

“Yes and I’m an adult.”  I also wanted to scream I say it because I can’t say what I really want to say. I say it because I don’t want you to learn the other word.  But the problem is that when I hear him say “frickin” I really hear him say the other word–because that is totally what it has come to mean now.  The word we use to replace the word we want to use has now come to mean the same thing as the word we don’t want our kids to use and now I don’t want him to say “frickin.”  This all means I have to find a new word and lord help me I don’t want it to be “fudge.”  That just totally sucks.

So. fess up readers–what are your replacement curse words and have your kids begun to commandeer them?
