said PB Monster, on our way out the door to swimming lessons yesterday. I don't know where he heard the saying, but I wasn't expecting to hear it out of his little mouth. Often, if I ask, PB Monster will tell me where he has overheard a word or phrase. I didn't think to ask yesterday. I did think to ask when PB Monster was saying bad d**n. One of his classmates had said G*d d**n, which PB Monster, not familiar with the "G" word, interpreted as Good d**n. He then decided that if something bad happened, bad d**n was the appropriate converse.
Another example of PB Monster linguistic adaptation is his renaming of a Grilled cheese sandwich. PB Monster interpreted grilled as a derivative of girl. PB Monster is very concious currently of distinguishing girl stuff from boy stuff. Thus, the "Boy Cheese Sandwich" was born.
