Words of a Child

At dinner tonight, Deep Thinker almost said a bad word. I interrupted just in time, “No! That’s a bad word. We don’t say that, okay?” (Sometimes he still doesn’t know a word is bad–I believe that was the case in this instance.)

So, then he tells us a story: “Hey, my friend Tyler at school has a friend Scott. Guess what word he knows.”

Before I could respond, Deep Thinker blurted out, “He knows the word ‘shut yer yap’! He says it too!”
