Soap In The Mouth

Well I had to do it and I didn't think that the whole thing was going to be that traumatizing but it was. So my little James has decided to start swearing which is cute sometimes but not a good habit to be starting. He has started with saying Dammit quite a bit so we just talked about how that's a bad word and he shouldn't say it. Well apparently that wasn't good enough because the other day he had moved on to saying God Dammit. I will give everyone one guess where he heard that (Daddy). So I took the bar of soap and swiped it on his tongue twice. You would have thought that I had beat him for an hour. He was completely devastated. All day he talked about how "Mama put soap in my mouth." So as soon as Dwight got home James went over to him and said "Mama put soap in my mouth." His lip curled under and he got tears in his eyes. Who would have thought that I would have ruined my little boys life for the day. We have moved on after that but I'm happy to report that he hasn't repeated that word.
