My eight-year-old son Donny was trying to explain why words like, "What the…," "darn," "sh_t," "stupid," and "shut up" are not words that should be said by anyone, most especially children.  So I tried to give them my two cents worth, while being very conscious not to sound too preachy.  


This is what I told them:
