Stuff They Say About Shoes

S was getting ready to go out to the desert with his father.

J: S you have your bloody shoes on!
S: I like my bloody shoes.
Me: WHAT!
S: These are the shoes with blood on them from the hunting trip! Big smile.

Sigh of relief.

“Bloody” is about the only bad word I use that has lingered on till now. All the others I have conditioned my self not to use anymore (unless its past the kids bedtime and the occasion calls for a ‘bad’ word to emphasize a story when extra expressive language is needed.)

I am American so we never use that word although I never knew it was like a bad word.

  It’s a very british word and it is not as bad as some other words but children should definitely not be using it.
