Sometimes the best reaction is no reaction at all. Pre-schoolers busy learning the power of language, experiment with all sorts of words, real and invented and this little fellow had picked this particular utterance up from someone, liked the sound of it, and probably didn't understand what he was saying. In these sorts of circumstances, the best reaction isn't to laugh or to think it's cute but to react as little as possible. The first unacceptable words used are likely to be related to bodily functions and are best dealt with by ignoring them. The less annoyed you get, the less effect the words will have and the less likely they'll be used to rile you.
