Darn Boy

Today, the Kidlet said that he wanted to see "Darn Boy". You know, the movie..."Darn Boy". It took us a while to figure out exactly what he was talking about, but we finally got it...

He wants to see "HELL Boy". Only he categorically refuses to say the word "hell", just like he refuses to say any other "grownup" word. We told him that it would be more appropriate to say "Heck Boy" than "Darn Boy", but "heck" is apparently also too foul a word to cross his lips. He said that he would either call it "Darn Boy" or "Imaginary-word Boy", but nothing else.

My child - MY child - refuses to cuss, even when given permission.

Sometimes, life is so ironic it hurts.
