My six-year-old daughter drew me aside the other day.
"Mummy, I know I shouldn't have but I taught Ben some bad words. I told Ben about the 's' word and the 'h' word."
I was perplexed. The 's' word I could figure out, although I was a little surprised to realise Laura was familiar with it (I'm no saint, but I try to curtail my swearing when my kids are around. Dammit! Bother! and Bugger! - if I'm really upset - are my catchcries these days). But what was the 'h' word? What new swear-word was this?
I asked Laura what these words were. She squirmed, she wiggled, she beseeched me, "Don't make me say them Mummy. They're bad words."
"C'mon", I coaxed. "Just whisper them in my ear then."
Laura eyed me warily for a moment. Suddenly deciding in my favour, she nodded, and leant towards me as I bent down to her pigtailed head. In a rush of warm little girl breath, she murmured damply in my ear,
"Shush up and hush up!"

Oh dear, you'd best keep her away from me and my potty mouth.

Laura is such a sweet child...I can't believe that she taught Ben such bad words. hehehe
Kids are so cute at this age.

She surely deserved a kiss on the forehead, right then & there.
Is't there a law against teaching little kids words like that?
KNowing me I would have said "So you taught your brother the word Shit - but I cannot work out the second one"
Too Precious!! Your daughter not me!!

I love it! I wish I could say that shush & hush were the only bad words that I ever said - but I curse like a pirate! Laura's innocence makes me smile!
