Question

Picture this scenario:

You and your young child(ren) are looking for a movie to go see. Your little kids say to you, "Mommy/Daddy, can we go see Kick ***?" 

The movie is rated R, so the obvious answer is no, but still, how do you respond when your child asks you about something with a bad word in it, but weren't really cursing? Serious answers and funny answers are both welcome here.

If you're old enough to see Kick-*** then you're old enough to wash daddy's car, clean the gutters and give the house a lick of paint.

Once you get that done we'll see Kick-***. Hands too small? Tough. We got all day.

If you are not comfortable with them using that language even if not cursing than simply say so, just say "I know you are only saying the title and not trying to swear but I don't want you using those words even though it's the title, okay?" They will understand. And it doesn't mean "donkey" in the context of the film and I put a million bucks on your kids know that, it's not going to confuse your kids to ask them not to curse, most kids are a lot smarter than parents give them credit for.

You tell him/her that the movie is just about superheroes or something  like that  doesn't mean that the title is bad it's not good for kids as well.You let him/her see the picture of the movie coz'that's just about superheroes.

Don't confuse the child, for all you know they may believe that the word *** in that context is referring to a donkey.
