Watch your mouth folks, my kindergartener has turned into the bad word police. Good Lord, I can’t get away with anything anymore. Now don’t get me wrong, I am happy that my son recognizes what words are bad, and knows not to say them. However, I did not know the extent of the list of bad words. I am in trouble with my overzealous, Dudley Do-right at least twice a day. It’s not like I’m spouting the F-bomb all the time. (Well not around him anyway.)

Poor Beast from Beauty and the Beast. You’d think he just called Belle a b*tch with the way my son was carrying on about Beast saying a bad word. I just had to know what bad word the Beast said in this beloved G-rated film. Well apparently he said he looked stupid when Lumiere was helping him get ready for his big date night with Belle. Stupid. Oh my. What a terrible thing for the Beast to say. At least by my son’s standards. Okay, of course I don’t want my son walking around calling people and everything else stupid. But sheesh, I also don’t want him issuing tickets to everyone he encounters who uses this common word. Forget about crap, poop, darn and butt. Not on my 5 year old’s watch.

It’s a good thing I don’t know George Carlin. He and his 7 dirty words would be chased out of my house so fast by my little hall monitor. I’m having visions of my son’s future career and for some reason I see a uniform and a baton. Hmmmmm.
