Wherein my grandson Jack uses the 'F' word at school:

[trof]

He's in 5th grade.
Following recess, a little girl in his class marched up to the teacher and said "Jack said the 'F' word on the playground."

She called Jack out into the hall and asked him exactly what he had said to his classmate at recess.
Jack, somewhat perplexed, told her "I think I said that if Aaron didn't quit bugging Jason they were gonna FIGHT".
"That's the 'F' word you said?"
"Yes."
"That's OK, Jack."

Evidently 'fight' was the forbidden 'F' word for the little girl.

1. Priceless and precious.

And what what a little stinker to run to the teacher!

[trof]

2. Yeah, but now he wants to know what the 'BAD' 'F' word is.

And I am NOT explaining it to him.
Not yet.

Yes, I think the 'rat' has a crush on him.
Ah, school days.

3. Well you are lucky he doesn't yet know it!

My children learned it on the school bus...the youngest was only in first grade!

It made for an interesting discussion...and if I had said, go ask your father, their father would have said...whatever your mother says it means!

Yes, she may have a crush...but what a way to go about it!

4. Taken literally, I'd rather be fucked than fought, the little girl has a point,

wherein fuck is a sexual act and fight I don't think has any other connotation besides violence.

5. LOL

I had a little girl tell me once that another student used the "C-word". I thought, OMG!

So I asked her to spell it for me, and she spelled c-r-a-p. Whew!!

It's funny what they consider to be "bad" words. For instance, "shut up" and "stupid" are VERY bad words! And they constantly argue over the use of "ain't"!
