NB: Don't worry, this is not something I am considering doing to my children. Although the three-month-old cusses like a sailor.

i think if the goal you are going for is "child who gets caught less", then washing the child's mouth out with soap is an okay way to go. however, i also don't think that's the goal i'm going to be going for.

Heh. That's *exactly* what it did to me, when my mother heard me say "Damn". I just made sure, from then on, that I didn't say it where she could hear me.

I also objected strenuously - if *she* could say it, why was it wrong for *me* to say it? "Do as I say, not as I do" never did work on me. *wry*
