$#@&

here’s a little ditty. last night, while i was cooking dinner, chad and colton were bonding over a little game of play station. chad was using the time to talk to colton about what’s going on in the 1st grade. colton is a typical “guy” and usually gives 1 word answers when asked anything about how his day was at school. well, last night, he offered up a little more information than the usual “fine” or “good” or “o.k.” he began to tell chad that sometimes the kids at school talk bad. when chad probed a little more, he revealed that sometimes they say the “S-H” word. chad…who was sooo on it, being all understanding and open with colton…said, “really? so some of the kids say shit?” very confused, colton looked at chad and said, “no……shut up.” nice.

i’ll keep a tally of how many angry phone calls i get this week from little first grade boy’s parents informing me that my son taught their son a new word. i think i’ll have our home phone forwarded to chad’s cell for a while.
