Oh no...Not the "S" word!

Today as we were getting ready to head over to church, our parrot of a child said her first naughty word. As we were all getting dressed, Ned let the "S" word slip. I gave him my usual look of complete disapproval, but thought nothing more of it. Then from the other side of the room, my darling, innocent, small child, muttered the same dumb word. It was clear as a bell. I was alarmed, however, I am told that this was one of my first words. We looked at each other and laughed (which was the wrong reaction). In the next few minutes she said it a handful of times. I thought, "How can I take this child to Nursery? She will offend the teachers and corrupt the other children." As I was mulling this over, she started to whine and her nose started running. Yes! Runny nose = no nursery. Saved by the snot! I left Ned and Abby home to learn some clean words, and ran to Primary. She must have forgotten about it, because we haven't heard it again today. Hopefully that will be the last we hear the dreaded "S" word.
