F bomb on the playground!!!

I am not sure if this is one for the "baby book" but my 7-year-old learned the "F" word this week.  It would have happened sooner or later.  You can't keep them from learning that information, I was just hoping that once he had the information, he would make good choices with it.  But no, not so much. 

Tay was at the playground with friends and there was a 4th grader with him.  He saw the word on the slide and told Taylor to say it.  So, Taylor read what it said but didn't know it was a real word, so was confused.  Then the boy said "aww, you said a bad word".  So, Taylor tells me later that he learned a bad word today and can he whisper it in my ear.  So, I let him.  Trust me people, hearing the innocent voice of your 7-year-old say that "F" word in your ear is not pleasant.  It made me cringe.  I proceeded to calmly tell him that is a bad word, it is not to be said and I don't ever want to hear him say it again.  He says "I didn't even know that was a word.  Do normal people like you and daddy say that word?"  Ahem. No.  I've never said that word.  Ever.  Ahem.  Or something like that.......Which is the truth, I don't say that word.  Unless I am going for "extra classy".

So fast forward to today while a friend is watching the kids while I am at the Dr.  I come home to find out that Taylor decided this new naughty word was just too much for him to keep a secret.  He had to make his friend say it too.   So, he did the same thing to his friend as the older boy did to him; told him to say the "F" word and then told him it was a bad word.  My nephew, whom I am sure has heard that word more than his fair share of times, came screaming outside that this horrible word was said.  And he did not censor himself, he was screaming F...F...F...F....like somehow it is okay to say if he is tattling. It was like a dream come true that he was able to tattle on someone for saying this.....

Needless to say, Taylor got to experience the taste of soap in his mouth as I made him hold soap on his tongue for a minute.  When he was finished....he said "That was so painful!  Next time, can you please just ground me from Wii for a week?". 

No, because there won't be a next time!!!!  Next time, you get to eat the whole bottle of soap.
