My mother is coming into town for Christmas. She's never visited us before,
so it's a big deal. Given how she raised me, and how she was raised, we thought it
might be worth attempting to rein in some of kiddo's vocabulary
at nearly 7, kiddo's still all about bodily functions.
Out from nowhere, as we watched TV last night:
Kiddo: "Has Nana ever done the 'F-word'?"
Mommy and I were frozen in stunned silence. Kiddo repeated her question.
After a forgive me pregnant pause:
Mommy: "Has Nana ever said the 'F-word'?"
Kiddo: "Has Nana ever DONE the 'F-word'?!"
Well, I guess that really is what she asked.
As I was gearing up to answer her question (after more silence and shock):
Mommy (eventually): "Do you mean fart?"
Kiddo: "Yes! Fart!"
Imagine our relief!
