You just explained politics and how we got where we are today. She will understand in the years to come. Well done. And she did her part to avoid further turmoil and scraped her dish. Love it.

Of course, I work with college-age kids, so my thought on kids swearing is that they'll hear worse than that soon enough. Rather than forbidding the words, maybe explain to her that those words crass and will make other people think less of her. Then mention that once a person gets into the habit of swearing, it's very hard to stop, and the only way to avoid that is to just never swear at all. I don't know if she'd be old enough to grasp all that yet, but it might be worth a try. :) I like dog licker, although I think it would still raise eyebrows.

My older daughter showed off her "vocabulary" for the first time when she was about that same age - saying to my mom "SH**! Oh, I mean Patooie. I'm not allowed to say sh**." :-) I like dog licker.
