“Sh**!”
I hear from downstairs.
Me: MAX!!!!!!
Max: (arriving upstairs) What mom?
Me: Did you just say a word that starts with sh?
Max: yes.
Me: We absolutely cannot say that. There are some words we cannot say and that is one of them. like “hate”, alright?
Max: But that’s what dad said.
Me: I know and you need to tell him not to say that too.
Max: But he said “Oh Ship”
…
Me: very well then, you may go
Max: (footsteps back downstairs.)
