Grocery shopping with Sister riding in the cart, drawing on a scrap of paper with a pen.
Sister, not looking up from her drawing: "What does 'screwed' mean?"
Dang! Where did she hear that? Who is the potty mouth in this store? I may be a bit prudish, but there is just some language I don't want my 5 year old to use!
Me, trying to address this tactfully: "Well, it means that you are in trouble."
pondering, pondering, pondering.........
Me, unable to stand the suspense: "Where did you hear that word?"
Sister, holding up her pen: "You said this pen didn't work because it was unscrewed."
I wonder if she will yell "This marker is screwed!" in Kindergarten tomorrow, or the next day.
