Enunciation 101

Beloved, we need to have the 'swearing' talk. You know how we're ignoring the issue until Bear is old enough to notice and pick things up.

Well, this morning I said "Bugger!" Bear didn't miss a beat, twice for good measure. At least I have to say you'd have been proud of her flawless enunciation...

(All beloved could say on reading this was to correct my use of 'annunciation' to 'enunciation'. With a look that was well beyond smug...)

Good luck, it's like trying to cure an addiction because the older they get the more you need those words.

Not as bad as my little chicken, obviously. Daddy tripped over the coffee table and really hurt his toe. He said some bad words without thinking anyone heard.

The next time we were all at a family dinner, someone announced in a little voice a phrase that sounded very like "Clucking Bell". Except it wasn't. When no one reacted she said it again.

We just kept ignoring it, and it's gone away again, hopefully never to be heard again.
