Party of "3"...Daddy, Mommy & Me!

Simple words we know...two with a similar meaning; however, one of the two has a slightly "nicer" sound. ("booty and bottom")


The first time the kid came home with the word "booty," we quickly told him that that wasn't a nice word and instead of saying that word...he should say "bottom."


All was well for several months until he picked up a "new" word that apparently sounds exactly like the other word when spoken and/or sung (at least to him)..."body"

As soon as he hears someone say "body", he immediately yells (to anyone who will listen) that "they" have said a "BAD" word. Instead of trying to explain to him that "body and booty" were two separate words...we just let it go.


Until several days ago.....

We decided that we'd try and explain to him the differences of the words. At 2 months from 3 years old, we figure he's older now and he'll be able to understand.

Boy were we wrong....

Let's just say we are worse off than when we started!

I'm beginning to wonder...is "booty" really that bad of a word? I mean...besides the fact that it sounds horrible and disrespectful?

HELP!
