4 year old scandal

The following is the conversation I had with my 4.5 year old daughter at the lunch table today:

"Mama?"

"Yes?"

"Can I tell you a bad word?"

"Huh?" 

"When me and Ethan were playing by the fence those kids on the other side said a bad word" 

"Oh, yeah?  What was the bad word?"

"I don't want to get in trouble"

"You won't"

"Are you sure you won't get me in trouble?"

"I'm sure...I'd like to know what they said."

"Okay.  They said...(long dramatic pause)...POOPIE-HEAD"

LOL - too cute! If she thinks "poopie-head" is a naughty word, you are obviously doing something VERY right as a mother : )

hey...I bet those kids were mine and my nephew...so sorry for the bad influence :) My nephew was just visiting and brought that new word with him...fun times! I guess it could be worse.

Margo...I dont think it was yours...Hannah and Ethan both said that it was the kids they were playing with in the hole under our fence; which would mean our next door neighbors. They are the potty-mouthed (pun INTENDED!) culprits!
