This is Mrs. Grumpy.
Last week I had a sick 7 year old girl in my office. While she was waiting for her aunt to come get her, I was reading some reports and swearing at them.
Nurse Grumpy: "Oh, Jeez! What's does this mean?"
Daisy Mae: "NURSE GRUMPY! You shouldn't swear like that!"
Nurse Grumpy: "Huh?"
Daisy Mae: "You said part of a word you're not supposed to say!"
Nurse Grumpy: "Oh, sorry, Daisy Mae."
(pause)
Daisy Mae: "Nurse Grumpy?"
Nurse Grumpy: "Yes?"
Daisy Mae: "I guess it could have been worse."
Nurse Grumpy: "I'm sure."
Daisy Mae: "I know the 'F' word."
Cute! I love she called you out and then wanted to up the ante.
ReplyDeleteBonding with teens through profanity. Nurse Grumpy you are so tricky.
ReplyDeleteI bet she was thinking of "fiddlesticks". Maybe she threw in some "H-E-double-hockey-sticks" for shock value.
ReplyDeleteIt will cost you 20 bucks for me to say that I didn't learn it here.
ReplyDeleteI love 7 year olds. They're so honest.
ReplyDeleteKids really do say the funniest things!
ReplyDelete"This episode of the new, grittier 'Sesame Street' has been brought to you by the letter 'F.' Stay tuned for 'Breaking Big Bird.'"
ReplyDeleteIn my eight years of teaching first grade, I've learned...
ReplyDeleteThe "d word" is "dumb".
The "s word" is "stupid" or "shut up".
The "f word" is "fart".
And the "n word" is "stupid".
Yeah, that last tattler kid wasn't so great with the alphabet.
No joke.
@Rhonda, and the "r" word is "arsehole". According to my tattler kid who's fine with the alphabet when it isn't used in words.
