My girls have potty mouths. Lucky for me, though, they've made up their own curse words that aren't likely to offend the random, non-family eavesdropper.

"Nah Gobbit!" the baby yells when she's upset. And then she stomps her foot.

"Quit off," the toddler says, in a voice dripping with contempt and worthy of the most sullen teenage drama queen. (Boy, it'll be fun when we hit that age for real!)

On the one hand, I should probably discourage all this salty talk: Even if the words are nonsense, the intent shines through in their tone; they ought to learn to speak civilly. On the other hand, I like that they don't hold things in. I always did.

Still. There must be a happy medium around here somewhere that doesn't involve swearing, lol.
