Dag Nab It

Two days ago, I said “Dag Nab It” in front of PJ (Age 7). He accused me of cursing. I told him Dag Nab it wasn’t a curse word. Only a few second later, he had repeated “Dab Nab It” so many times, it started to feel like a curse word. So, I told PJ he could say “Dag Nab It” only once per day.

Yesterday, we went to Olivia’s school to see her band teacher. Before we got out of the car, PJ yelled, “Damn It!”   Me and Olivia looked at each other and said “What did you say?”  He said, “I said Damn It.  Remember, you said I could say Damn It once per day. I haven’t said it today….” So, we had a heart to heart talk about the difference between Dag Nab It and Damn it.

I found out that the difference between the two word for a 7 yr odl boy are very sublte, but now he understand the difference. 

 Boys.  What can you do?

Speaking of swearing this is a pretty interesting article.
