Cursing, a la Ava

A: "Freakin' sakes!"

Me: "Honey, you shouldn't say 'freaking' so much."

A: "Why not?"

Me: "Because...it is kind of like a bad word, that only Mommies and Daddies can say."

A: "Like damn it?"

Me, cracking up, then finally I say "Yes, honey, just like damn it."

A: "Yeah, damn it means that Mommy broke somethin'."
