No, not for a form of expression I believe she has to right to exercise later on in life.

What my wife and I do is immediately correct ourselves, like in this case, substituting 'Grape Donut' for Gawd Dammit.

That's what I did. I went in to the living room and started stomping my feet and saying 'GRAPE DONUT, GRAPE DONUT!!' and started laughing at myself.

She mimicked me, and that was that.

It'll be fun to explain why my daughter is yelling 'Grape Donut!' to anyone in the future.

Or when she calls her teacher a 'horse licker'.
