There has been a increase in bad language around our house recently. Our boys have picked up a bad habit of calling each other names that are not too nice. Dumbass is definitely their favorite go-to insult for just about every situation. I'll admit, I agree with them more often than I should, however, that does not make it okay. It's obvious where they may be picking up this type of language, so I am doing all I can to say four letter words in my mind only! Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I have the mouth of a trucker, but once in a while nothing seems to fit better than something my little ones maybe shouldn't hear. For example, the bloody nose from being elbowed by my son, situation. S#*T felt really good then...darn just would not have cut it! There is also another level to their "dirty" mouths. They have become mildly obsessed with pee and poop, only the words!! Every punch line to every joke they tell ends with pee or poop. "Knock, knock" jokes always end up with mom saying, "poop who?". This sets them off laughing and laughing. I have instilled a new rule because of all the mayhem. I have told the boys that this is "bathroom talk", they can talk about anything they desire as long as they are in the bathroom. It's working somewhat so far. I can hear them screaming the "naughty" from down the hallway..."PEE!!!" I only hope I can curb this attraction to ugly words before school starts!
