In the car, on the way to Wegmans:
"Mom, I don't know if you know about this, but there is a bad word that we can't say at school. You've probably never heard it before. I can't even say it out loud in front of Ryan and Alex because they are too young to hear it."
I braced myself.
When we got to the store, Emily got out her seat and whispered the offensive word in my ear:
"The word is bitch."
I said "What?? Why are you saying that in the third grade, and how did you learn it?"
She said "Well, I was saying "pitch," and some other kids got all weird and told me I said a bad word. So I asked the teacher, and that's when I found out about the bad word.
For the mommy vault:
I've done a damn good job at concealing the "bad words" I know! Score one for the mom-ster! =)

That's funny! Did you also tell her that the word means female dog...so it's not really a bad word. You have done a really good job considering your potty mouth. I'm just kidding! I don't think I've ever really heard you say a bad word. :-)
ha!
Yeah, we had a whole talk afterward about what it really means, and the reason it's considered a bad word is because when people say it to a person they're basically calling them a female dog.
Yesterday I was trying to get something from the dog, and I think in the process Chloe bit part of my finger when I got it away from her. I usually say "FREAKIN' DOG!" but this time I almost slipped in my moment of pain.. I think I may have, actually. Emily was right there and said "Oh - mom - that is so funny! You said FRUCKIN'!"
lol
Oy vey.
I remember knowing the whole battery of offensive words by the time I was in third grade. Heh, and look how I turned out! :)
