Ruby's experiences at school have led her to make some comments on bum size ("bum" is a bad word in Kindergarten, btw.):
Me: Ruby! Her bum isn't big! You just think everyone has a big bum because your bum is so little!Congratulations, Tys?
Ruby: No, I don't! I think you have a little bum.
And my uncle.
Me: Your uncle?
Ruby: Tyson. You and my Uncle Tyson have little bums.
And speaking of bad words, Moses has discovered that he can make his siblings laugh by saying all the bad words he/they know when they think I'm not listening.
**CONTENT WARNING**
Moses: Butt!I've tried to tell them that "hip-bum" is not a bad word, but no one believes me. Moses even sang a song one day that consisted of the sentence, "Hip-bum is a bad word!" over and over again.
(laughter)
Crotch!
(laughter)
Hip-bum!
(even more laughter...)
You'd think the fact that I didn't care at all that he was saying it would have been some indication ...
Have you or your kids ever used a word as if it were "bad," when it really wasn't? And how long until my kids discover that all the bad words they know are very, very tame?
