Wait, WHAT did you just say?

Miss O was in another room, getting dressed. She yelled, "Hey, mom! Lucy has a huge black eye!"

"How'd she do that?"

"mumblemumble crap mumble mumble"

"Dude, WHAT did you just say?"

"I said Lucy really whacked her eye on a railing."

"No you did not. What did you REALLY say, and did it involve the word 'crap'?"

*looooong pause*

"Uh, I said that Lucy really whacked the crap out of her eye on a railing."

Yeah. I thought so.

I mentally handed out demerits for using the word 'crap' while simultaneously awarding points for using it in such perfect context. And then we had the Mandatory Parental Lecture About Not Using Words Like That.
