The woes of rhyming!

It has been awhile! So sorry. I'll update soon, I might even include pictures. We'll see! Right now I wanted to tell you about a conversation me and Squirt had. He's been really into Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which is really a pretty cute movie. Except one of the main characters names is Buck. See the problem here is that Squirt likes to RHYME things. Everything actually. He came running to me so excited:

S: "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy... Buck rhymes with Duck."
M: "It sure does, [I could see where this was headed quick] What does box rhyme with?"
S: "No Mom, I'm rhyming Buck... It rhymes with Suck too"
M: "Ya, good job, what does cookie rhyme with? "
S: "Mom, Buck rhymes with Luck too and Cuck and Muck and F*%!"
M: "Don't say that one though, that's a bad word"
S: "What's a bad word? F*%!? No mom, it rhymes with Buck... Buck F*%! Buck F*%!"
M: "Please stop saying it, it's a bad word and I don't like it"
S: "Hey bubba, [shouting into the other room] did you know F*%! rhymes with Buck, but it's a bad word?"

This conversation went on a while and I eventually had to threaten bodily harm to get him to stop! I'm thinking either the producers of Ice Age don't have kids and wouldn't have seen this coming or they thought, oh this'll be fun, let's see how many moms we can piss off. What do you think?

If nothing else, you at least have an awesome story to tell.
