Do you know what the 'S' word is.....?

Bathtime has got to one of my  favourite times of day...not only because it signals the end of the day and that I am that much closer to sitting down and pouring myself a glass of wine but because it is when my children have the most hilarious discussions/arguments!

This evenings topic was swear words!

"Do you know what the 'S' word is Chester", pipes up Tallulah whilst brushing her teeth.
"um...yes...i think it is..."

"Don't say it", I shreak, fearing that at the age of 4 my son is going to scream profanities from the bathroom loud enough for my neighbours to hear.

"It is 'Shut up' isnt it?" says Chester, very pleased with himself.

"Yes", I say relieved that this was the worst 'S' word he could come up with!

"Oh ok", says Tallulah "Do you know what the 'B' word is then...I do!"

I give her a hard stare and tell her this is not a good conversation and to continue brushing her teeth.

"Is it 'Bloody'??" says Chester unsure.

I nod but before I can tell Chester that it is a bad word and that he mustn't say it Tallulah pipes up very smugly,

"Actually no it is not...I know what it is. Shall I say it?"

"No", I reply "just whisper it to me."

Tallulah leans over the bath a whispers to me

"It is 'Bum'......And would you like to know the 'F' word...?...'Four Bums'!"
