Momlogic's Jackie: My hubby and I have always spelled words to keep the kids out of the loop. But now my four-year-old can read. How am I supposed to hide stuff if he can break the code?

"Hey Honey, we can take the kids to the p-a-r-k today."

"We're going to the PARK?!" my four-year-old belts out.

Damn.

Spelling has been the one thing that has kept my kids from infiltrating our grownup conversations. In fact, I have another mom friend who I practically spell everything with when having a play date with our kids.

"Did you see K-A-T-E at the party? Are she and D-A-V-I-D getting a d-i-v-o-r-c-e? He is an a-s-s."

Now that my son is obsessed with reading, spelling and anything phonics, he'll just jump into the conversations with an energetic "A-S-S spells... Ass! What's an ass?"

I'm thrilled that he's bright and eager to learn. But now what I am supposed to do? My hubby and I tried pig latin over the weekend. You know... "Honey, we could ake-tay the ids-kay to the ark-pay," but my husband spends much too long trying to decipher the code and I just get frustrated.

How do you keep secrets from your kids? (And before you comment that you don't ... yeah, you do.)
