Sandy Supposes....

Grandgiggles X 2

BCOF Prompt November 23rd: Free write!!

         What shall I write about? Hmmm, think, think, thunk...          

I know. At the moment I'm visiting the two youngest grandgiggles. The youngest, Christina, is ten months old. She just laughs when I try coaching her to say Nanna. Apparently, my attempts at Christmas karaoke also cause her to giggle. At least she doesn't sob and cover her ears.

         Today, the four-year old, Alexandra informed me there is a list of bad words . Say it isn't so. I am not 'apposed' to say them...ever.

         I just learned that 'fine' is at the top of the list. Huh? Oh, sometimes it's used as a sarcastic, attitude-y word. Fine, I can skip that particular verbiage...if I must.

         Now, I've been warned repeatedly that 'stupid' is not a good or nice word. As it stands if I say it one more time Alexandra tells me she will put me in time out. Message received.

         I suppose the real shocker was the next no-no.

         Her tone of voice signified a wistfulness, a longing, a loss.          

"We don't say the 'fuck' word anymore."

         Excuse me? Since when did 'we' commonly utter that harsh word?

         This is the same girl who just yesterday explained that her toque and mitts were 'accessories'. Ah, I did wonder.

         There are three more days scheduled for this visit. My lessons will continue.
