So, recently Liz informed me that there are bad words that the kids aren't supposed to say at preschool.
My first reaction: Oh crap, (ooops), I mean, Oh shoot, here we go already.
She's four and we're already dealing with bad words. Being a journalist, I quiz her instantly about what these bad words are. What are these four-year-olds saying?
Of course, as soon as I start to quiz her, she's already wise and isn't sure she should say these words, because she's already been told by her teacher that they're bad words.
Finally, I break her (I am a journalist after all).
She then whispers the dirty words (shhhhh - language warning coming).
Here they are: diaper, poopy and pee pee.
Whew! I can handle those bad words. Now, at first I was surprised that diaper was considered a bad word.
But after thinking about it, I do recall when Liz was little and not potty trained, there was at least one time when she had a dirty diaper at the worst moment and it inspired Daddy (maybe even Mommy) to whisper (ever so quietly) a bad word.
So, in our house diaper is now officially a bad word and that's fine with me.

Haha!! Hilarious! I will be sure to refrain from using such language in all future blog posts ;)
That is so funny! Don't you just love how kids' minds work? At my husband's elemetary school, "stupid" is a bad word! Liz is just adorable.
She is so grown up!
Dylan knows that calling someone a poopoo (like poopoo head)is not nice, but it is ok to say I need to go poop.
He has said "crap" before, in the perfect context, I might add. We definitely need to watch our mouths around him!
Have a blast in DC!
