Experimenting With Language
Scenario
Miss A is in the bathroom doin' her business.  She has difficulty keeping the volume of her voice below 110 decibels, especially while her sister is sleeping.  I foolishly leave her in the bathroom to wash her hands and she proceeds to talk to herself in a ridiculously loud voice.  I rush to the bathroom and politely remind her to keep it down.  She whispers "You're stupid." To which I am visibly horrified and say "Excuse me?" to which she replies "You're great."  We have a discussion about how telling someone they are stupid is not acceptable and she tells me "You're wonderful."  
Yeah. Right.  I got it.

Um...I wonder if they'll EVER get over the words they use...my 8 year old says mean things, and hopes that saying something nice afterward will immediately make things better. *Sigh*
