I usually call my mom every morning and evening. She only lives about twenty minutes away, so I typically go to visit on Sundays too when it's pretty outside. But today is cold and wet and I swear I saw a few snow flurries when I took the dogs out. So, I called her and told her I had been dreaming about school the past couple of nights.
Me: Tomorrow I'm getting a new kid who called the teacher the c-word.
Her:The c-word? What's that?
M:You know, a "c-u-n-t".
H: (Repeats the letters) I don't know.
M: (Pronounces it for her).
H: I've never heard of that. Is that like a S.O.B?
M: No, it's kinda like calling her a vagina.
H: Damn. I've heard it all.
And all of this before I'd had a cup of coffee. Today should be interesting.
I guess in some ways it is precious that she had never heard that. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteI guess so. It's not that commonly used, but I figured it had been around a while. I'm surprised the kid had used it, actually. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've had a similar conversation with my mother. Thank goodness not that word. Not sure I can imagine how that would have gone. LOL
