Sticks and Stones and....Sneetches?

Well, thanks to this Dr. Seuss video Madi now knows the word stupid. It is a word I am certain I have said around her but it is definately something I don't want her to use. I mean I would rather her call someone an a-hole than stupid. Maybe it's just me but I think it's an awful word and hate the fact they put it in the cartoon. I know this is petty and she will learn plenty of awful words in no time but it's sad when they use them in cartoons like this. I try to monitor what she watches and I don't think it's a big enough deal to make her stop watching it either. I just hope she never uses it as a weapon on someone to hurt their feelings.

Just gently guide Madi away from words that you don't like. She's being raised by a good Momma.; March 3, 2010 at 8:29 AM

Unknown said...: Oh that Dr. Seuss! I'm with you, though, I don't like to here that word coming out of little one's mouths. That is a much restricted word at our house, too.; March 3, 2010 at 7:32 PM
Big Hair Envy said...: The "S" word in our home was always "Shut Up"....it was forbidden. No good can ever come out of telling someone to shut up.; March 10, 2010 at 2:51 PM

THE BLOGGERS PRAYER

Lord help me to learn to spell without spellcheck,
manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly -
all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house
and take care of my family.
Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life.
And help me dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
