Have you ever felt accused of saying bad words around the daycare kids? DCM came in today saying that her child was pretending to feed her toy dog when she suddenly yelled “no bad dog†and threw the stuffy. She told me they do not use that word at home and wondered where she might have seen or heard that. I was a bit stunned because I don’t act that way at all and for her to think I do is a bit unsettling. She most likely got it from another more agressive child I have in care and I said “she might have overheard another child say it†as I had no idea what else to say.
To top it all off this child, who is 19 months has very limited vocabulary when here 50 hours a week but seems to talk in complete sentences at home. I was a bit shocked that she even said “no bad dog†because it seems much too advanced.
Any thoughts? How do you handle this? My first instinct is to just ignore but I am feeling uneasy.

I would just say "not that I'm aware of". 
My DD loved that show in elementary school.
). In addition, I told her that I used the word "tattle" with her in order to simplify the conversation but that I never called children names.
