Just a short post...swearing

My daughter has started calling me a "big Strawberry Banana" and won't stop.

What have I done to deserve this tirade of abuse I ask myself? Even today, she was at home with Cameron and she called me specifically to insult me. It didn't stop there. Her friend who I've never even met came on the line to let me know that I was a giant chocolate elephant.

Of course I responded with a stream of foul-mouthed language

"Well at least I'm not a gigantic carrot covered in cheese" I retorted

Unfortunately the unknown one took this personally and started to cry. At which point my wife came on to the line and properly let me have it - in adult speak that is.

The problem that we face as marginally younger parents is that some of my friends forget they are in the presence of a child and let the odd word slip out - words that often rhyme with duck or pit. As yet though we have not heard any of the words repeated back to us. Perhaps it is only a matter of time before my angelic daughter calls me a "ducking little pit" without a real understanding of what she has said (mind you my wife calls me worse).
