Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani from An Island Life. Over there in Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. So, for Aloha Friday, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Answer my question and put one of your own up on your blog. Link up and check out other blogs that participate at An Island Life.
Do you use made up swear words in front of your kids?
Unfortunately I have a sailors mouth. Something that I have had to phase out a bit since I have had children. There is just something about hearing your kids swear that just sounds totally wrong, in which I have had first hand experience. I know its not lady like to swear but its such a hard habit for me to break. One of the things that I do around my kids is to replace real cuss words with miscellaneous words. For example, the S word is replaced with snap and the F word is replaced with frick or frack, depending on whatever comes out first. I have noticed my oldest copying and frick is definitely in his vocabulary. He does know what the real words are, but he also knows not to say them too, thankfully! So, that is why my question is: do you use made up swear words in front of your kids?

My favorite: Shitaki mushroom =]
I can see it getting trickier as they get older....LOL!
But now with children, I edit myself.
sometimes oh crap still comes out if it's really bad, but I try to cut it out too.
I guess I don't swear, but the c and the damn will come out.
