I don't know about you, but I think the light slap on her mouth actually taught her a valuable lesson. (and me too, as I am a little more cautious nowadays about what I speak when she is around me).

Smart thinking, kids can be very good listeners, and words like that may sound interresting to them, so they remember it, and use it in other situations.
I still remember the smack my grandfather gave me, when i was 9 years old, and watching a Winnetou and Old Shatterhand movie. In the end the heroe got shot, and i said "wat een kutvent", or in English "what a m**********r". I guess ihad it coming to me. If my grandfather hadn't slapped me at that time, i might have thought of that as a signal that i could curse around the house whenever i felt like it. And that's just not right for a little boy.
