Say What??

Jake:  Hey, Mom, I didn't know pu**y is a bad word.  (Trevor looking at me for an answer.)

Mom:  (Washing dinner dishes, sure she didn't hear what she thought she heard).  Um, Jake, come in here, please.  What word do you think is bad?

Jake:  (Lowering his voice with impending doom).  Uh, pu**y?

Mom:  Well, that is a very bad word.  As bad as the "F" word.  It actually means a kitty, but sadly, some people have made it into a bad word.

Jake:  Sorry, I didn't know.  They were just talking about pussy willows in school today and someone said it was a bad word.

Trev:  (Loudly calling out from the adjoining room.)  You mean pu**y is a bad word?

Mom:  Yes, Trevor, please do not say it anymore.

Trev:  (Running into me whispering)... Mom, Jake called me a pu**y once.

Mom:  He did?  When?

Trev:  I don't remember, but I'm telling you, he did.  He called me a pu**y.  A big pu**y cat.

Jake:  I called you a puddy tat, like what Tweety Bird calls Sylvester.

Mom:  Okay, boys.  I think we are done here.  Just remember not to use that word, EVER.  If you use it at school, just know you will be called into the office and/or the parents of the kid you say it to will be calling here wanting to talk to you.

Trev:  Hey, Mom, Matthew and Israel said that the word "f***" is a wrestling move.  Is it?

Mom:  No, Trevor.  You know that it is a very bad word.  We talked about this before.

Trev:  (Seemingly pleased that he could throw that in and not get in trouble.)  Yeah, I know, that's why I told on them.
