The Bad Words

Zachary had a Band Recital this evening at the Middle School. Glenn and Ben took him early; they also went to "save seats" so the rest of us could come a bit later.

On the drive over we went past the Elementary School and the lights were on. I questioned, "I wonder why the lights are on at your school?"

Chris: They are probably cleaning the floors.

Emma: Paul David got an "oops" note today. So he has to meet with his Mom and Dad and Teacher. They are probably meeting right now.

Cindy: What did he do? What happened?

Emma: He said the "d" word.

Cindy: Hmm... what is the "d" word?

Emma: Mom, I can't say it.

Cindy: Oh go ahead... just this once.

Emma: Ok. Darn.

Cindy: Oh my.

Emma: He also got another "oops" note. He said the "s" word.

Cindy: Well, tell me, what is the "s" word?

Chris: Mom, we can't tell you.

Emma: You don't want to know.

Cindy: Oh, come on. Tell me just this once.

Chris: s-t-u-p-i-d

Emma: Yeah, stupid Mom.

I hope that's as far as it ever goes! :)
