The language of today, for the most part in pretty foul. I would like to think however that my children are someone immune from it at least for now.
I laugh though when Ben comes home from school and says to me "Mom..I know what the "F" word is..."Fart", or I know what the "H" word is..."Hate", or "S" word is "Stupid". I am thankful that these are the words he thinks are BAD words or Swears..as these words coming from a 6 year old do not sound all that nice.
Tonight however I fear the innocence has been lost, and Ben has been exposed to the real "F" swear word. He is in Grade 1.
I was upstairs making dinner and I hear Ben downstairs "OH..F@#$@#$@"....excuse me???? I asked him where he heard it and although he said from school, he "doesn't" remember from who.
I really suspect it was from one particular boy that I have cautioned him against playing with..he is a troubled boy unfortunately from a bad family and has already been suspended once for aggressive behavior (stabbed Ben with a pencil)...pretty sad really.
That being said, I think Ben doesn't want to tell on his friends. Either way he had a stern talking to. I sure hope I don't hear that from him again.
Am I going to survive these school years?
