Baby curse words
I've heard stories from family members and friends about how small kids will either create their own curse words or use another non-curse word in lieu of one to express themselves in a frustrating situation. One of Elizabeth's brother
s created "bootch" for example. Elizabeth taught Zeke how to say "Oh snap!" recently and since then he's used the word "snap" in a variety of ways. Most commonly, he'll use the term "Snap that!" or "Snap you!" when he sees a bug or when his train isn't working correctly, all completely harmless. He does use those terms every once in a while when he gets frustrated and that's when Elizabeth and I have a hard time keeping straight faces. He's a pretty good kid so as long as the issue doesn't escalate to actual curse words, I think we'll be okay.
