I said something kicks butt the other day and my daughter says, "Dad that's a bad word."

I said, "Which one?"

She says sheepishly "butt."

To which I responded no it's not.

Well my wife informed me that at daycare it is.

Here's what I said, "Hun, when you are daycare you follow their rules. But in this house we don't believe in bad words because words have no power unless you give them power. I don't believe in 'bad words' just bad connotations so when you are older we will talk about what all that means. For now choose your words carefully and match them to the place you are at the time and we'll all get along fine."

Looking at me confusedly she says, "That kicks butt dad."

And I responded, "However, at school it's just REALLY Cool."

We don't even have bar soap in the house.
