Those bad words that sound so funny...

So...Butt face...I mean Cameron has been on the name calling train for a solid 4-5 months now. It started by calling Uncle Benny "Shirley" and Uncle Benny calling him "Becky" and has grown to Cameron making up his own ridiculous name calling insults (moo-py doo-py and the likes of anything that ends in "py") to the kicker....calling daddy a Butt Face while playing the other night. Brian sent him to timeout sternly, and once the door was shut, we both about smothered ourselves in the pillows stifling our laughter.
The kicker came yesterday when we were playing outside and my sweet cherub middle son, grabbed his crotch and said "suck my penis."
Now, the thing to remember with Cam is that he cannot pronounce certain sounds, trucks are fucks and tree is free, and there are others but the "tr's" are the only think I can think of right now. Anyway, I wasn't sure I heard him correctly so I looked at him and said "what did you say" and he said it again. What? (again) IT (again)....Cam where did you hear that? (he named a name like Ralphy ratting out Schwartz) And I told him that he shouldn't say that. Moving one...
Now I'm still not sure what I told him that he shouldn't say, because of his 3 year old lisp. But when it sounds just like he is saying Suck and Penis in the same sentence you have to react, I mean what other word goes so well with penis....(um....thats not...oh never mind) So, now the question is where did he get that from? Brian and I don't talk like that at home, the only other place is nursery school. There is "that boy" that is always in trouble. But what do you do, chalk it up to those things they learn when you send them out into the real world, and if it is coming from his nursery school and the kid that is doing the trash talk is that kid that is just a punk and discipline doesn't make a blip on his radar, should my son be removed from that environment? Is that to dramatic? It is our baby and we don't want our 3 year old talking like that.....Why didn't God make an instruction manual?

I was flipping pancakes one night when we were watching a kid a few years older than Miss O. They were all at the table playing word games and stumbled on to truck, duck, luck, f***.

Visiting Friend did that you-just-said-a-naughty-word giggle and without missing a beat I served them all pancakes and explained how f*** really was a bad word and you shouldn't say f*** unless you're a grownup. And really mean it.
