Mine seemed to prefer "you idiot" from 101 Dalmations! Gotta love 
that Disney...

As far as the language goes, not to start another discussion on 
censoring.... but Jim Trelease, author of _The Read-Aloud Handbook_ 
(which has a wonderful treasury at the back of suggested books to 
read aloud) suggests editing books as needed as you read--removing 
the profanity if you prefer, or shortening descriptions for wiggly 
younger children. You have to use your discretion, but let's be 
honest, haven't we all at least tried to get away with abbreviating 
the 500th telling of a story if we thought we could?
