Kids are constantly repeating what they hear. 

And Dax Shepard, 42, learned that the hard way when he accidentally taught his three-year-old daughter the F-word.

During an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, Dax revealed he let out a few curse words after he almost broke his nose on his daughter's bookshelf.

'I let a couple of mother--kers rip,' Dax confessed during the interview. 

He goes on to explain that, in an effort to keep his two daughters from waking up so early, he tries to make their room as dark as possible. 

Dax, who is married to actress Kristen Bell, says he covers their bedroom windows with aluminum foil, joking 'it's like they're meth addicts.'

He also joked that they 'may suffocate' since he puts a towel under the door to prevent the light from shining through so they stay in bed longer in the morning.

But the father of Lincoln, three, and Delta, two, admits that his genius plan backfired one night when he was trying to get out of the blackened room and hit the bridge of his nose on a bookshelf. 

The pain of the incident caused him to let out a few colorful curse words, which his daughter proceeded to mimic. 

He continued: 'The worst part of the story is two days later Kristen's walking down the hallway and Lincoln's in her room trying to get this sweatshirt off — she's like 3 — and her arms are all bound up in it and she's getting frustrated and she goes, 'Ow! F***!''

He explained that the couple chose to ignore their daughter's use of the f-word, hoping the lack of attention would get her to stop. 

But it didn't work and a few hours later, Lincoln said it again at a pool party. 

'This pool is f--king warm,' Dax recalls her saying.

 He admits, their tactic worked and Lincoln stopped using the profanity. 

He concludes: 'Side note, we were like, 'She's nailing the syntax. She knows that she's using it as an adjective, an adverb. We were proud and she stopped saying it.' 

The famously funny couple has also been in a bit of a spat over Dax's love for his lazy boy and where he has chosen to place the comfortable chair.

Odd placement: He moved his prized possession from his office where it didn't fit to their home theater room where it was placed smack in the middle of the room

The Veronica Mars was clearly unhappy about the whole ordeal, but Dax isn't backing down. 

 'Have you ever seen a happier person?' Shepard asks Ellen when the picture of him in the chair is put up on the screen. 'I've seen people win gold medals in the Olympics. They don't look that happy. That's not a bit. We're not trying to get attention. That's currently where it's at. I'm winning the battle, but I certainly won't win the war.'

Can't get enough: He explained the chair is so comfortable when it's in the recline position that it feels like he's in zero gravity

When Ellen pointed out that sitting in the middle of the room, in front of the L-shaped couch, it would block anyone sitting behind it, the funnyman hilarious retorts: 'In zero-gravity mode, I'm not in her way.'

He explained the chair is so comfortable when it's in the recline position that it feels like he's in zero gravity. 

Dax and Kristen have been together since 2007 and got married in 2013. 

They have two daughters, three-year-old Lincoln and Delta, two.
