Beaver Dam(n)

I just love it when kids hear a swear word and want to know what it means! It's such an awkward moment to have a chat saying or spelling out words that we would never an any other circumstance ever say.  We were all in the car listening to Taylor Swift and she says the word Damn.  Of course Sydie wants to know what that means, and all my kids fill her in.  Coby immediately pipes up: "Yeah, but you can totally yell out "Beaver Dam" and that's okay to say". BWD thought that was the funniest thing he's heard in a while and immediately starts acting as if he's hit his finger with a hammer, screaming, "BEAVER DAM!  BEAVER DAM!"  It was too funny. Then Coby wants to know if "Beaver DamIT" is still kosher.  Ummmmm, probably not.

First problem, you were listening to Taylor Swift.

My FIL is a civil engineer and works on dams all the time. He has a complete repertoire of dam songs that he sings to his CE classes at Utah State. He loves those dam(n) songs.

This is weird but just today TBone said "What the h---?" regarding something apparently astounding and then later after I gave him the "Mommy can say that but you can't" talk he asked me what a b-that-rhymes-with-witch was.

Awkward ::said all singsongy::
