Emily: Can I say bad words when I'm a grown up?
Mommy: What bad words did you want to say?
Emily: I can't say them. You'll get mad at me.
Mommy: You can say it this once. What bad word do you want to say when you grow up?
Emily: Oh my gosh.
I remember having a very similar conversation with Anthony when he was her age. I think the word he wanted to say was stupid.
