On Friday, Kristen Bell took to her Instagram story to share a hilarious parenting moment.
She visibly held back her laughter as her husband, Dax Shepard, discussed swearing with their daughter.
This probably goes without saying, but Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are the ultimate couple and parenting goals.
Their transparency on social media makes them as likable as they are relatable.
Above all else, when it comes to parenting, they always keep it real.
Dax and Kristen have two daughters, Lincoln, six, and Delta, four, and they’ve never been shy about sharing tidbits of parenting advice every now and then as they figure things out.
While they’ve managed to protect their daughters’ anonymity by not posting their faces on social media, they have still been candid in sharing relatable parenting moments with their fans.
For example, on a recent episode of Ellen, Dax and Kristen revealed that their older daughter, Lincoln, asked the question that all parents dread: “Where do babies come from?”
Instead of sugar coating it, Kristen and Dax broached the sex talk by explaining it as scientifically and plainly as possible.
“We went through the anatomy: penis, vagina, ovum, sperm. We’re laying it all out,” said Dax.
They certainly curbed their daughter’s curiosity, because she apparently up and left the room mid-conversation.
“We bored her to death,” said Kristen.
Kristen once admitted that she and Dax lock their four-year-old in her bedroom when it’s time to go to sleep.
“I’m sorry, I know that’s controversial, but we lock it when she gets in there, and we stand outside and say, ‘We love you, we will talk to you in the morning, but now, it’s time for sleep,'” Kristen said .
“And after about 10 minutes, she’ll wind herself down. And then, before we go to bed, obviously, we unlock it.”
She has also opened up about how parenting has been a rather vulnerable experience for her and Dax.
“I don’t know what we have power over. It’s certainly not each other or our children,” she once said.
“We don’t feel powerful. We really just get by. We feel, you know, a little vulnerable just as much as everyone else does.”
So, anyway, Kristen and Dax have recently needed to have a discussion with one of their daughters about swear words.
In the past, they’ve mentioned that they don’t censor themselves at home.
“We don’t limit ourselves as much as we should at home,” Kristen said .
“The way we explain it is, ‘Look, you’re 5 years old. You can’t drive my car. You can’t vote. You can’t drink alcohol. You can’t swear.’ So far, they’ve obliged.”
Evidently, the success rate of that strategy has begun to wear down.
On Friday, Kristen shared a video to her Instagram story, holding back her laughter as Dax discusses swearing with their daughter.
She begins by telling Dax that a boy from school uses the F-word.

“He says this is ‘[expletive],'” she says. “He says that every time in school.”
“He does? He’s naughty,” replies Dax.
“The teacher says that’s a bad word,” she said.
“Yeah, that’s not a nice word,” Dax says. “You know, that that’s a naughty finger and I never see you do that.”
“It makes me so proud that you know that, yet you don’t do it. Well you did it a couple of times when you were young, before you knew it was a naughty word.”
“You guys didn’t tell me ‘[expletive]’ was a bad word when I was little,” the girl continues.
“You’re right, we just ignored it,” Dax said. “We hoped that you didn’t say it a lot, which seemed to work.”
“I have been waiting for this conversation since the day I got pregnant,” Kristen, visibly struggling not to burst out laughing, wrote.
“The one where we talk about what fingers mean what when u hold em up.”
“I [am] fidgeting because I am trying so hard not to laugh. It’s excruciating. @daxshepard you handled this brilliantly,” Kristen concluded.
I love them so much.
Please never break up. Thanks.
