Hi, I'm a professional storyteller, and here's today's PSA:
Unless the storyteller complains, your kids didn't do anything wrong. We are fine with wriggling, giggling, lying down, and whispering. If you tell them off after the performance, you kill the magic right there.
Kids wiggle. They ask questions, and comment on the stories. It's part of storytelling. Don't discipline them unless I ask for help.

This one differs by culture, but: in many parts of Europe, one of the sites of traditional fairy tale telling was military service. Many tales you see in children's books now were told, in one version or another, by soldiers to each other after curfew.
So, technically, it is very much authentic to have characters in a fairy tale swear with abandon.
Just read an article about a theory that the myth of Asclepius and the story of Alcestis used to make one continuous epic. Which kinda make perfect sense.
The story starts with Asclepius killed by the gods for trying to bring back the dead with medicine.
And it ends with a drunk Heracles bringing back the dead by beating up the god of Death and breaking some of his ribs.
Resurrection. Best accomplished with booze and wrestling.
