Just two simple words, but about a week or two ago I was sitting when my son (who just turned two) walked up to me and proclaimed:
“Fuck Ohio!”
I have no idea what he knows about Ohio that I don’t (we live in Illinois) or why it upset him so, but we did have to have a little talk about language.
Still cracks me up though.
Okay, this was my cousin, but I want to share anyway.
We’re at my grandpa’s funeral. He was Catholic, so a large portion of the service was devoted to Hail Marys and Our Fathers, or whatever (I’m not Catholic, I’m not sure). Anyway, after about fifteen minutes of chanting, my cousin (note: also not Catholic, I just went to his bar mitzvah), age 7, turns to my aunt and says in a voice loud enough for everyone in attendance to hear, “Mom, they’re just saying the same thing over and over again!”
The wave of laughter that passed over the room was much needed at that time. My cousin still gets kidded about it, and I know my grandpa would have found it immensely amusing.
