Sh...

So we've had a first at our house yesterday.

Jaedon swore.

Not intentionally- but still surprised the hey out of me! It's nice to have Brad work at the same school because today I learned "the rest of the story" as it were.

We were in the bathroom finishing up bathtime and Jaedon was quietly making "sh" "shh" sound then blurts out "Is 'sh*t a bad word?"

WHA?

Surprisingly enough I replyed very nonchalantly and said

"yeah- we don't use that word. Where did you hear it?"

"I made it up. What's it mean?"

"Well, it's just another word for poop- just potty talk that we don't need to use k?"

"Ok."

"Did someone at school say that word?"

"No. I made it up. "

"Hmm. ok."

I totally didn't believe him and thought he was just not wanting to get a friend in trouble.

Today Brad calls and says that his K-teacher told him THE STORY.

Apparently, they were working with sounds and blended letters. The blended sound she gave Jaedon to work on was "sh". He put the "it" with it and ...voila!

He made it up.

Of course, the kids at his table who KNEW the word were VERY quick to make a HUGE deal of it which is what tipped Jaedon off to it's magically powers. ;)

And I need to apologize for not believing him!
