Lizzy has benefited from the help of older siblings teaching her everything from phrases like "stupid" to "nanny nanny boo boo, stick your face in poo poo". We have tried everything to cure her bad habits, from time out, to ignoring, and most recently trying to teach her a silly bad word instead. We got the kids to say "babaganoush" and every time they used it we would scold them and put them in time out. We were hoping she would start using it instead of stupid but didn't work. I'm at a loss.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896888700175603711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-8779439484157568772009-01-29T19:44:00.000+01:002009-01-29T19:44:00.000+01:00Now that is cute!Now <I>that</I> is cute!Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-89094382253104295042009-01-29T19:33:00.000+01:002009-01-29T19:33:00.000+01:00Oh, that's a great story!

We just had a speaker at church who said when his little sister was really mad at him she would shout "Beer and cigarettes!" because that was the worst thing she could think of.<BR/><BR/>I think it speaks very highly of your family that that's as bad as the bad words get in your house. My 9-year-old had an assignment to find all the words he could make from the letters in "Merry Christmas". Two of the 20 blanks just say "bad word", circled. I was relieved to see that there wasn't an original bad word erased underneath his bad word label. :) And I have to say I am a wizard at those kind of puzzles, but I cannot for the life of me see more than one potential bad word there. So hopefully his other sone is something like P or Alcohol!charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-30389756231365510762009-01-29T18:29:00.000+01:002009-01-29T18:29:00.000+01:00It's nice that one lesson sunk in!
