I got "Why 'oh shit', Mummy?" yesterday when I smashed a bowl. And have never forgotten the time when Mouse made an indignant noise after getting into the car.
"What's up?" I asked. He struggled more with his seat belt. "The bloody thing's stuck," he grumbled, very very clearly. And not just repeating something I'd just said, either...
That seems to be an appropriate use of language. Restrict profanity to only being used freely in the car, so you can still yell at other drivers without regard for propriety.
