Your attack on the message is utter nonsense. In fact it bothers you to know I am right and how foolish it makes you appear to oppose my correct views. If you can't attack the message attack the mesenger. Your IQ on the blink Starman? Wait don't answer that, just know it.

That's not the cause, it's a symptom, numbnuts.
The effects it has on peoples emotions are what makes them bad. I would think that even a simpleton could understand that.
Apparently only a simpleto ...[text shortened]... d like to say the feeling's mutual, but I really couldn't care less about what you think.[/b]

Then, you give them an explanation of the word that is suitable for their age. Obviously, you can't explain it to a four year old and you don't want to entirely obfuscate the meaning when talking to a 13 year old.

Children love new words. You'll know that soon enough. My wife made the mistake of explaining my boy's penis to my cousin's daughter and it's about all she said for a week.
That's why.
P-
but the thing was, her gambian dad, the only muslim she's ever known, had taken a nap on the same bed previously, and she smelled his cologne.

Originally posted by SeitseThe problem is, I can't very well say to the child "wait, I'll just call your parents and hear with them what they want me to say to you" when they ask. Now if I were a teacher, I might have the opportunity to ask the parents how they want me to handle such situations before they happen, but most people won't know what the parents want them to answer. For me, "sorry, I can't explain that to you, ask your parents" gives almost the same message as not giving any answer, making it a mysterious word which is cool to use because it's forbidden. I also can't really see why any parent would object to an explanation along the lines Red Night gave, but maybe some parents do.
I would invite you for a tea to thank you for giving me my place as
parent in a delicate matter, really.
I think it's a matter of judgment. Some parents would tell you "do
your job" and some other would thank you for saying that is a
subject in which each family decides.
Originally posted by NordlysI hope you are not talking about kindergarten kids. There is a time and place and that is way to early. In my opinion. A simple I don't want you to say those words ever again is a good enough explanation for now. It might be confusing to them but so is Santa.
Doesn't sound like good parenting to me.
