I knew it would happen sooner or later...but honestly I was really hoping for later....especially since when I was growing up no one around me used bad language or I was oblivious. In fact I didn't know any bad words until my babysitter's son taught them to me in 4th or 5th grade. Anyway Lily came home the other day sharing that she learned a bad word. Now frequently she has shared learning bad words, but the words are along the lines of stupid. But this one took the cake!
So apparently Ethan (a boy in her class) was doing -ick word families. Well you can imagine when he added a d- to his word family, what he taught the rest of the kindergarteners in Ms. Shaffer's class! On seperate occassions both daddy and I asked Lily if she knew what it meant and how she knew it was bad word. To daddy she said no and I explained to her that it was a not polite name for a boy's private part or that sometimes it could be a person's first name. Apparently somewhere along the way she had some understanding of it being a boys private part, because then she went onto to show me her further understanding of the word using hand motions.....one hand with an okay sign....the other hand using the pointer finger to go through the okay sign....GREAT....just great! Oh well....I guess this is JUST the beginning!
