Madeline has a fascination with words. She recently stumbled across the B word playing a rhyming game. So we at first ignored it because it isn't the first curse word she has stumbled across. It's just that she usually forgets them and moves on to new and better words. This particular word, however, she loved to say. So, since she didn't let the word go, Scott took her aside and very gently explained that she could no longer say IT. Now when she hears, or makes up, a word she asks about it. A couple of days ago we were laying around, getting over the stomach flu and she says, "Mommy, can I say 'strange'"? I replied, "Yes" She then wanted to know what it meant and I told her, crazy or weird. So now everything is strange. She just this moment burst into the office laughing - "Mommy, the fairy godmother said strange!" =) I was about to say that she thinks I'm strange, Myah's strange, when in doubt she just says, "that's strange!"
