The OMG Bomb

[Momof4]

My grandson told me last year that I should never say the S word. I looked at him in astonishment and he told me I said the word stupid and that's the S word. Oy! Yes, we have to be really careful with our language around little children, but come on, show me one parent who never says OMG once in a while!

If kids say it, I ask them what God means to them...who is God? Usually at that age, they don't know. I explain that if they don't know God, they needn't use his name. If they throw in your face that "you said it" ....(I try not to, but as you said sometimes we may not realize) I explain that "God" means something to me and sometimes things are appropriate for grown ups and not kids (within reason, of course!) There's nothing wrong with kids learning that!
