I had this conversation with Olivia tonight and found it to be funny and I thought I would share what goes through a 6yr. old mind. This was as we were reading Junie B. books.
Olivia: "Oh mom, she said the "d" word and that's a bad word and when you say bad words it brings bad luck, like you know ,when you put a umbrella up in the house"(light bulb came on right after words, moms going to use the bad luck idea every time a word comes up that is not suppose to be said. Besides, do you know how many times I have preached about putting umbrellas up in the house. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition, must have paid off after all. Oh, "d" word is dummy)
Mom: "Oh, that's what happens"
Olivia: "Yes, and this kid Austin in my class he says bad words all the time, like the "F" word and "L" word. (Dare I say I hesitated before I asked what the F word was, cause after all they couldn't possibly mean the F word. The word was fat. Which is good, I don't think they need to call anyone fat and the L word was lady. Only the teacher is aloud to call someone lady. Could you imagine the kids calling the teach "hey lady".)
So as we kept reading about how Junie B's grandpa was watching her and he pretty much let her to alot that grandma doesn't let her, she precedes to tell me about the time when "you and grandma were at wal mart and I was with pappy and pappy let me drink all the ice tea riiiiight out of the container, you know that biiiig jug!! Pappy he doesn't know grandma's rules either........I couldn't contain my laughter, so she told on you pappy nesbit!!!!!!

lol good stuff.
A used to make me not read the "bad" words.
Now he corrects all of her grammar, which I guess is good.
