Girl walks up to me:
"J---- said the 'c' word."
This is always a great guessing game....
Me: "OK...you need to be more specific. What exactly did you hear?"
Girl: "I don't want to say it."
WOW ( I thought)...this sounds serious
Me: " Well...can you spell it?"
Girl: "Can I whisper it in your ear?"
Me: "Sure" As I bend down
Girl: "C-R-A-P"
Me; "Oh that C word...okay. I will take care of it." (Cracking up on the inside.)
Then...after school
Girl: "C------- said a bad word."
Me: "Can you tell me what you heard her say?"
Girl: "You know, the word that only boys should say."
Me: (I'm drawing a complete blank) "No, I can't think of any bad word that only boys should say."
Girl: "It starts with an N"
Me: (Now I'm completely lost)...why don't you spell it for me"
Girl: "I won't get in trouble will I?"
Me: "No"
Girl: "N-U-T-S"
OK...that one is worse than crap so I mosey on over to C-------- and ask...
Me: "C-------, one of your friends told me you used the word nuts. Did you say that?"
C-------: "Yes...My lunchbox fell out of my backpack so I said, 'oh nuts'."
Okay then....
movin' on.
