So, my 9 year old has this fascination to say bad words. She can now slowly draw out the word aspirin so as to say a bad word but not get in trouble. She laughs with glee when she hears me utter something in frustration and each time my internal frown grows more weary of myself and lack of verbal control.
Then we came up with "Schneegle Gluben". We decided it was a German word that means "shucksy darn". Shucksy darn? Yep. The dark, forbidden word from deep in the mist of bad word world. We use it now when a bad word wants to pop out and we just cover it up with a loud, German accented, "Schneegle Gluben"!
Maybe it really means something profound. Or not.
If I haven't called you lately it is because the 5 on my phone has been busted. I keep wanting to call the phone carrier but there is a 5 in their service number. Oh well.
