So here was last night’s dinner conversation:
#3: Stop touching me.
#4: I’m not touching you.
Spontaneous outburst of singing:
WEEE-EEEEEE, are never ever ever, getting baaaaaaaack together. WEE–”
#2: No singing at the dinner table.
#4: quick glance at #2… increase volume. You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to meeeeee. Weeee-“
#3: SHUT UP!
#1: Don’t say shut up.
#5: She said shut up!
#3: Mom — she said the s-word.
#4: That’s not the s-word.
All heads turn to Number 4.
#4: The s-word is SHIT.
Me: Oh, for lack of a better word, shit.
Assume the position: Exhale. Drop head down. Slump shoulders. Close eyes.
Remain in position.
Where did you learn that word?
Please don’t say “from you, Mom” please don’t say “from you, Mom” …
#4: On the bus.
Phew.
#4: So what? Shit? Shit’s a bad word? It’s just shit. See? Shit. What’s wrong with shit?
#5: What does shit mean?
#1 and 2 (in unison): Don’t say that!
#4: Mom! You didn’t answer me! WHAT DOES SHIT MEAN?
#6: Shit.
Oh my God.
#3: Mom, who decided that shit was a bad word? And what is shit?
#6: shit shit shit shit shit…
#4: Mom, seriously, what’s wrong with shit?
Me: It’s just not a nice word. I don’t know why. It means poop. Let’s just stick to poop. And don’t say it in school.
#3: Will I get sent to the principal’s office?
Me: Probably. And if that happens, then you’re in deep shit.
