LOL How old is Max? My son is 5 and the word "butt" especially when in the
same sentence as "poop" just cracks him up. I think he's entered the stage
where boys appreciate what's known as bathroom humor.

We've spent the last few days listening to "I Farted on Santa's Lap" over and
over and over.. and they still die laughing every time they hear it..

Have you discovered the Dav Pilkey books about Captain Underpants? If
you can stand the same bathroom jokes over and over your son will love them.

I noticed that American home-schooled kids swear a lot less than
their english counterparts. Either its just Virginia or the Brits are
just a foul-mouthed bunch.
One lady from here went to Hesfes a couple of years back and was
horrified to hear mucho swearing from kids as young as 3. She was
also disgusted at tangled hair and scruffy clothes however.
I don't think she ever went again.

Maybe it is location. I really don't hear children swear that often. When I
do, it's mean schooled children. As in swearing and yelling at those they
are playing with who won't follow their rules.

I would never feel comfortable with my children swearing. I know they are
just words and all. They watch movies with swear words in them and
occasionally my husband or I slip up. With me it's a matter of what I feel
is respectful. Not a lot of people I know of would be comfortable with
hearing language like that often from anyone let alone children. I feel
there's a time and place for it. I don't feel small children are the time
and definitely out in public isn't the place. My almost 17 year old has just
recently gotten to the point where she will swear in front of me realying a
joke or story or feeling. I'm fine with that and I do the same with her now
too. She doesn't swear around the children or my mom or out in public. She
also doesn't swear at us either.

Please dont' send her here, then. My three year old's corkscrew curl, waist
length hair is almost always in tangles. (No matter what magic potion we
buy.) And both she and my four year old pick out their own clothes....

Virginia is definitely a close-mouthed state. My children were chastised for
saying butt. "We don't say butt; we say bottom or hiney." They think that's
ridiculous since the word is buttock.

To think it was once a British colony. Now in Connecticut (at least in
central CT) many patients couldn't understand me unless I used the f-word
(works well as adj, noun, verb).
