age appropriate? You decide.

Eliot and Brian are playing video games. Eliot hit a wall with his car. Brian said, "well.. that bites." I covered my mouth and mumbled/whispered "don't. say. bites." Brian immediately covered his mouth and said, "sorry! Oops! Sorry!"
Eliot: Mommy? what did you just say?
Me: Nothing.
Eliot: did you say "don't say bites?"
Me: yes. I don't like for you to say that.
Eliot: bites. Bites, bites, bites!
Daddy: You might get in trouble at school if you say that. so please stop.
Me: Yeah, remember how the other kids got in trouble today for saying things that were inappropriate? Well, you could too.
Eliot pauses. Thinks for a second. then says: TEN THOUSAND BITES!
Daddy: stoppit.
Eliot: Bites.
Daddy: Ok, time to go take a bath. C'mon.
Eliot goes upstairs and gets undressed. The bathwater starts running. Eliot screams, "somebody get the air freshener!" Apparently, he has to GO to the bathroom.
Obviously taking a lesson from the previous conversation, Daddy opts to ignore that statement. They have a little exchange about bath-time and washing hair and clean clothes and the dentist appointment he had today. Daddy cleans Eliot's hair and then retreats so Eliot can clean the rest of himself.
Many minutes of splashing, quiet, singing, splashing.
Then: "BIIIIIIITES!"
