I get ya. It can be a condition of how you were raised. If your parents curse greater chance you might too. I am very careful around my 2 yr old and wife. Mrs. Tullock has only heard a dirty word from me maybe 3 times. My wife also considers pi** a curse word with I grew up using. So take that for what it is worth. I really think it is al human. Not everyone curses but we are human and prone to mistakes.
oh yeah....none of us are perfect....just something else to work on!
No, I just wanted to keep you in suspense like I was for whole night after the incident... The mom came in the next day and with tears STREAMING down her face from laughing said she had to talk to me outside...
She said, "I asked him about the word this morning, it was Qwrap"
(say it out loud)
That was 9 years ago and I still laugh about it!
That reminds me of the time when I was 7 years old, and I went to the kitchen table with my plate while mom and dad were entertaining an evangelist. I told mom that I wanted something that started with a "T". She looked around the table and couldn't see anything that started with "T". Finally ,I said "Taters! mashed taters!" My mother was so embarrassed and said, "Son, they're called PO-totoes!" Of course I followed up and said, "We've NEVER called them PO-tatoes! We always called them TATERS!"

Cra*, Dang, Flip, such like that. Maybe better said as words to replace curse words

My husband used to use the word pi** all the time, which I thoroughly disliked, and complained until he stopped. LOL!!!! My main point, "Do you want the kids to say it?" He didn't think it was a curse word (or bad word), though, and still doesn't.
I've had to break several bad habits regarding the sissy words, like cra*, screwed, etc.
I can say I don't use the bad words...BUT... One time Jeff and I had a big argument, and I let a really, REALLY bad word fly, mostly for shock value. He looked at me like I had grown 15 horns, and looked really disgusted, and then I was just embarrassed. LOL!!!
Kids will inspire you to clean up your mouth, because they repeat EVERYTHING.
I have to say, my family, well, foul language is not really frowned upon, except for maybe the F word, and some of the really obscene language. I'm changing that in our house!!!! (Mostly my Dad's side--I've never heard my mother use any kind of bad word, sissy, slang or otherwise.)

Did the kid's name begin with an "F" and end with an "e-r-d" by any chance?

One of our kids had a bit of a problem with certain phonetics. The "s" sound, in particular. Came out like "f". Needless to say, we tried to use the word "lollipop", rather than "sucker", around him!
