Naughty Words

The girls are learning the difference between good and bad. They have learned what "naughty words" are now. The first time we heard them use a "naughty word" was when Claire and Emma were building towers with their blocks (winter 2010). Claire's tower fell over and she said "dammit." Jeff and I looked with surprise at each other and asked her what she said. Emma came to Claire's rescue and said, "Claire said dammit because her tower fell over." A little while later, our nanny overheard the girls talking about "naughty words" during rest time. Claire asked Emma if "shoot" was a naughty word. Emma told her she could say "shoot" but not "dammit. Dammit was a naughty word." How nice that they have each other to learn what is good and bad! :)
