At Least He Asked?
October 5, 2006
This morning, before school, Spiff and his friend SoccerDude were discussing some YoMomma jokes, and the topic veered over to bad words and what each of them are allowed and not allowed to say. Spiff has been given approval to say the word “crap”, because as far as bad words go, this one is pretty mild. Not to mention, in middle school I have heard many kids say much worse than crap.
Much, much worse….
So Spiff began asking which words were okay at this juncture.
Spiff: Is the word hell okay?
Me: At home, I’ll allow it, but not to a grownup, and not out in public.
Spiff: Okay. What about the S word.
Me: You mean shit?
Spiff: Yes. Can I say that one?
Me: No, not yet. You need to grow into that one. Besides, most of the time that word isn’t really appropriate.
Spiff: Yeah, but you say it all the time!
Me: Yeah, mom isn’t really appropriate most of the time.
Spiff: Can I drop the F-bomb?
Me: Uh, no. That one you DEFINITELY need to grow into.
Spiff: When will that be?
Me: When you’re thirty.
Spiff: Man!!!
Why can’t they stay young and innocent, and hilariously funny, like this:

Hi! My Dad came across your blog and forwarded it to me, as I have just entered the world of autism with my 5 yr old. We’ve known he’s had special eneds since 18 months but he was just diagnosed on the spectrum in July and we feel an AS diagnosis will be coming when he gets older. Anyways, just wanted to let you know I’ll be reading your blog since you seem to have so much more experience than I do!! And I can use all the help I can get

that is to funny. I can just see one of my kids writing a list of the bad words they can say and which ones they have to wait on.
