Dropping the F bomb-- what age is acceptable?

[footfootfoot]

As part of his vast repertory of vocalizations, inch^3 has begun dropping the F bomb lately. (he heard it from mom) (ok, maybe from me too)

Anyway, he has been playing around with words and making up his own cockney rhyming slang (eg glow for a chalk= go for a walk), transposing first letters of word pairs for fun (eg bool skuss for school bus, or "Let's play Boggle." "You mean gobble? no boggle. goggle? bobble?" etc.) and this type of thing: (eg are you a beetle bug? No, I'm a cheetle chug, a deedle dug etc.)

Lately it's been fuck fuck fuck fucky fucky fucky etc.

He's singing it to himself and not checking us for reaction. We've been ignoring it completely as we might if he was just saying la la la, which it sounds like he is, it is a rather sing song fuck fuck fucky fuck.

So he'll be three at the end of November. I really don't want to empower this word with any kind of talk at this stage. He's excercising his options like mad lately, to the point of saying NO and refusing something he really wants or having accidents in his pants becasue he is waiting too long or not want ing to "go" because we asked if he needed to. (him doing the dance)

Any thoughts on this one? When he's older we'll let him listen to George Carlin, though GC did narrate an episode of Thomas the Tank Engine that Inch heard...
