I don't know if you are a fan of Kevin Smith, but in one of his 'Conversations with Kevin Smith' shows, he tells the story of when his little girl first learned the word 'shit'. You're story above reminded me of this one:
She was in the car with him and his wife and started out with all the ways you can say shit. "Mommy Shit!" "Daddy Shit!" "Cow Shit!" "Car Shit!" "Road Shit!" Basically, tack the word shit onto any other word she's already learned.
They laughed and were all, "Yes honey! Shit!" Then they told her what shit was. For some reason, she has never said it since.
