Praise or Rebuke?

My three year old is really having a tough time getting it through his mind that he is not say certain words like “stupid-head”, “pooh pooh head”, and generally “stupid” anything. I have been threatening to wash his mouth out with soap.
So tonight as the bath water is running and he is rebuking me for putting bubbles in it(?!), he puts some bubbles on his mouth and I suggest he can wash his own mouth out. He rinses off and says, “There, no more stupid words.” Which, now that I write it is only funny if you heard it. The emphasis was used like words were stupid—not saying he would not say stupid anymore.
Anyway, I had a hard time not laughing. I thought it would make a really good blog. I guess not.
