You know, "What the--?" is REALLY big right now. Everyone says it. It's sort of alarming how many children I have heard say it in the last few months. I have said "whattheheck!?" as a joke most of my life, so I've never even thought of it said a different way. My two year old saying "What the--!?!" is really funny to me. She says it when she's surprised. But when my 4 year old said it for the first time, it sounded a little too harsh coming from him. I let it run it's course though because it didn't bother me that much and he has a tendency to cling to that which I try to get rid of. On the other hand, "hate" "crap" and "stupid" are the bad words around here. I say crap, don't even realize I'm saying it, but it sounds so vulgar when a child says it. So I've gotten better. My very, very obedient and mild-mannered 4 year old loses his cool sometimes and when he's being banished (his word, not mine) to his room he yells "STUPIDHATECRAP!" because it's the worst thing he can think of. It's just about the funniest thing we've seen and we have a really hard time not laughing right out loud. Oh yeah, I also think the word "fart" is vulgar. We don't use it here.
