    Ten minutes later the tree was struck by sixty tomahawk missiles, sending a serious message to the Ents/Groot coalition.

    We now live in an age where a child advocating assassination of a head of state seems reasonable.

          She also told someone they were ‘a limp-dick’ the other day, but that’s almost certainly my fault.

        I do and this is a parenting fail.
        These words came from the parents mouth, not the childs thoughts.

          You are naive if you think kids won’t pick up stuff. No matter how careful I am she hears at least 40% of things she’s not supposed to.

          And lets just take into account the things we can’t control, while we’re at it. I can’t stop her picking up things from she hears from her grandparents, who mind her while I’m in work. Or from something said by our neighbours when in the back garden. Or perhaps even just by having the news on in the background.

          Don’t underestimate the intelligence of children. They will listen in, especially if they think they aren’t supposed to. Even when you think they aren’t listening. Show me the parent who has never let an errant curse pass their lips or said something they weren’t supposed to.
          There isn’t one, in case you’re interested.
