I try to avoid the words that I know many families do not want younger children to use and some that they do not want their older children to use. Awesome word suggestions! Although my mother did not like it when I used the word poop, as in when I called my brother a poop head. That was a long time ago. I wonder if pop on a stick would be better in some upper MG books or YA books that do not want to use cussing.Liz Strawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12981072108931064506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7952543594460390237.post-48477862389900836082012-07-01T09:25:41.542-04:002012-07-01T09:25:41.542-04:00Thanks, Mirka.

I never curse on this blog, on facebook, twitter, or any place else that can be overheard by kids, or adults I don't know. Which is why I was shocked that my students objected to my word choice. I thought I had used words that could be read aloud. But then they said, "Mrs. Mozer, your writing has too much crap in it." After we laughed about that, we had a great discussion that included the suggestions above.S.

But there is an issue of what to do when the character so clearly requires these expressions in dialogue, and how to deal with it in MG.<br />I like the imaginative (but punchy) suggestions you put here.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7952543594460390237.post-16426320281896819412012-06-26T23:25:55.301-04:002012-06-26T23:25:55.301-04:00Ha ha!
