"Blauw!"
"Jeremy said 'blauw' at me," Harry will complain.
"Oh, Harry, Jeremy's just being silly and trying to get you mad. You should just ignore him," I'll say.

Fundamentally, that's true, although Jeremy has now started to say "blauw" to his mother and me. He's emphatic about it, too. We think now that maybe it's his swear word. So, we try to discourage it a little, but it's a delicate balance. We don't want him to say nasty things, but we also don't want him to learn that saying "blauw" or anything else gets our attention so clearly. Besides, "blauw" isn't so bad outside the context.
