Are there some funny faux-swears (something that a cartoon pirate would use) that he could enjoy? Use those a lot at home.

That would have worked on me at five, but by ten I would have worked out what's coming from my dad and what's actually disapproved of by the broader culture, and if I was using the latter there'd be a reason for it. Not necessarily a very good reason, but a reason.

Not sure how good a model ten-year-old me is, though. I was a verbally precocious child.
