Cussing

So a while back, my sister made the mistake of calling someone a "*****" in front of Wyatt. He repeated it and of course my family made the mistake of cracking up laughing. That lasted a while. Luckily he really likes the song "Down in a Ditch" so anytime he said "*****", I would either say "You want to go to the beach?" or start singing Down in a Ditch (which he would then copy - so cute "Down Ditch Son-a gun").

Now he has picked up both "What the hell?" and "Fart" from somewhere....

When he says "What the hell?" I say "No, what the heck" and won't answer him until he says "heck".

When he says "fart", I say "Mommy doesn't like that word. We say toot." and I just don't laugh or react at all.

I am hoping that the not reacting will stop the cussing, because I don't like it (athough the way he says "what the hell" is SOOOOO adorable).

DH cusses a lot, but has gotten better since Wyatt's been copying us. DH's family cusses a lot. My family cusses a lot. I am trying to get everyone to stop around Wyatt, but it is hard.

I am hoping I can just keep working on it and he'll stop.

On another note, WHY do boys naturally think talking about pee and poop and butts is so funny???? I don't get it. Say "poop" and Wyatt will have a laughing fit. ????
