Re: [Unschooling-dotcom] was Safety rules... now the f word
Julie Solich
>>My son was two when he dropped something on his foot and used the F word toexpress his displeasure. We just ignored it, although my brain spun around
the idea that I needed to clean up my language, and soon!<<
So far any swearing on our part has gone unnoticed by the kids. Once a man walking by our house called my son a f****ing asshole. Jess came down to the house wondering why someone would call him an acorn!
Another time their cousins were over and my neice came in to tell on her younger brother for saying the f word. My boys came in and asked what was wrong with the letter f. LOL We spent the next 10 minutes thinking up lots of great words that began with f.

I was about 10 and came home from school telling my mom that someone said an
awful word. I wouldn't even repeat it. She asked me what it started with and
I told her F. She almost had a heart attack. It was that kind of household.
She finally got it out of me, the word was fart!!! I thought shut up was a
swear word until I was 8.

One of the most elegant jokes I knew when I was a kid was "what starts with f
and ends with -uck?"
LOVE that riddle!!!
(firetruck is the correct answer, though it's certainly only one of TWO great
answers!)
