Oh No!!! That is hysterical!
And I love the ferris wheel story. You should send that to Readers Digest.
I was very firm about potty mouth with the kids. Mostly because too many of the cousins had potty mouth. I knew it would stick.
One day Joshua ( now 38 ) came home from school telling me a boy in his class said the "B" word! He was VERY excited. I asked him what the word was...he said "MOM, THE B WORD!!" (and the boy "did not even get in trouble" ). Well my curiosity was piqued and I told him he could say it just that once. He refused .....he wanted me to guess. He gave me a hint....
"the B word...Ba...Ba... MOM! The B word....Ba...Ba"
After a few minutes, I got frustrated with him and told him it was his choice .....he could say it or not..but the topic was getting old.
Finally, he said Mom!! The b word!!! ...ba...ba....ba -GINA!!
