My daughter is a genius.
I tend to swear like a longshoreman from time to time. One day, on the way to the car from the front door, I hit my leg, and let out a "Shit!"
"Sorry Syd, mommy said a bad word"
"What did you say, mom?"
"I said shit, it's a bad word"
"What does shit mean, mom?"
"It's like a bad word for poop"
"Mom, that is not a bad word. "Stupid" is a bad word, because it hurts people's feelings. "Idiot" and "dummy" are also bad words. "poop" does not hurt anyone's feelings, so it can't be bad."
"Sydney, you are a genius. You're right. Words that hurt people's feelings are bad and should definitely not be said"
"No problem mom"
She's six.
No shit.
