    Instead of spelling it out or code, my wife and I will use increasingly obscure synonyms to hide our conversations from the kids.

    They figured out “frozen confection” meant ice cream, so I need a new one.

      I do this as well. I can’t say I’ve kept a lot of secrets, but at least the kids have a large vocabulary.

        This is how we started too, but as our kid gets older it just all becomes part of his vocabulary. He already has a really peculiar vocabulary to begin with so add our code words to it and it’s just… very interesting.

        Lacto-saccharine sounds better
