I agree, and you pull off potty mouth so much better than I ever could. I think people tend to look askance at me whenever I go off, and now my kids have an amazing command of the language... they know they're not to actively use it in public until middle school, but their flair with cussing just amazes me. It's cute and funny when a 7 year old uses a dirty word, but when they use it in the correct context, as a correct reaction to something, you can't help but be proud of them. It's not terribly cute or funny when they use it in front of the christian family across the street and said family comes to me about it, but if the word was used for a good reason, I tend to let it go. I've had to wash mouths out with soap exactly three times. Once when the oldest cussed for no good reason, once when the middle child was doing it to impress the neighborhood kids, and once when the youngest was saying "Dammit!" after I'd told him to get ready for bed. (he was being defiant). Now, when the oldest was doing her schoolwork, and said, " This is driving me fucking crazy!", I let it go. She was doing her best and it released a bit of steam, and she was able to concentrate on the math after that. Plus, it was funny as hell. And besides, what else can you say, after discovering that your twin toddlers had smeared their own feces on the wall of their bedroom for the fourth time, except, "Jesus H. Motherfucking Christ, what the hell are you DOING!!!!?"
