I'm MC Bishop and I'm here to say / my rhyming skills are on track with normal childhood development

Despite the fact that we inadvertently gave our daughter the initials MC,* she's got zero lyrical flow.

We discovered this when Madeline came to a page in her Hello Kitty activity book that instructed her to "See how many words you can think of that rhyme with the words below!" 

The first word was "kitty," but as there aren't that many words that rhyme with kitty in the average five-year-old's vocabulary, she did what any normal kid her age would do — guess wildly.

Tentatively she said, "Mitty," looking for some kind of acknowledgement from Kelly or me that "mitty" is in fact a word. While it isn't, I did think it was an interesting and topical first guess given the current election season.

For her second try, my sweet, beautiful daughter said with her angelic voice, "Shitty."

Now even though we try to watch our language, it’s entirely possible Madeline could have heard that word from her parents. "Shitty" is pretty much our adjective of choice when we're talking to each other and one of us or one of the kids is being a surlypants. 

"Hey, stop being shitty." "Why so shitty, shitty?" "The kids are kind of shitty tonight." There are other words we could use, but shitty really gets right to the point.

To make sure we heard Madeline correctly — as well as because it’s kind of adorable when your kindergartner accidentally swears — we tried not to laugh and asked her to repeat herself. Then we told her that's not really a good word for her to use, and thus far she hasn't said it again.

Keeping in mind that this is my new wave five-year-old, I’m a little disappointed Madeline didn’t try to rhyme kitty with Scritti and/or Politti before moving on to another page in the book. 

*Madeline's initials are 100% unintentional. We didn't realize she'd be MC Bishop until it was too late.

However, when deciding on a name for James, to complement his sister I actively tried to come up with something that had the initials DJ — but Kelly saw right through my plan and shot me down. 

We could've had a lil' hip-hop family! 

Any other parents have kids swearing at an advanced level? How are you dealing with it? Are they at least using the words correctly?
