Silly Stupid Dog

I try to teach my kids not to call things stupid. I don't think it's a horrible word but I don't want them calling people stupid or thinking that everything is stupid, so when Hannah was saying "stupid dog" this weekend I sat down to have a talk with her. I told her that stupid wasn't a nice word to call someone or something and that I didn't think she should say it. I told her that it was ok to call it a "silly dog" if she needed to. After a few minutes of having a talk about this and her telling me sorry she gave me a kiss and a hug and I got up to leave. As I just walked out of the room I heard her yell "silly stupid dog". Well, at least I halfway got through to her.
