Have you ever misheard somethng that was said?
I do.
All the time.
Apparently, these situations happen at preschool as well.
My son's preschool to be specific.
Of course it was my son who was misheard & he was very offended about.
Last week Bobster & I went to pick up Cheeks from school.
Now let me preface this with saying he watched the movie Transformers II. It has some adult language and we have told him he is not to repeat what he hears.
So the young, senior in high school, who is in his room approaches me & Bobster to tell us our angelic boy said a naughty word.
She was turning about 40 shades of red.
So I asked "What did he say?"
She's himming, hawing.
Finally she says, in barely a whisper, "He said penis"
Bobster says "Well we are teaching him the proper terminology for his parts. How did he use it? Did he say it hurt?"
The girl, bashful beyond belief, casts her eyes down & says "I'm not sure, Miss K just told me to tell you"
I told her we would take care of it.
Obviously, I was mortified but realized, well he's 4 at least he didn't call it something nasty.
So when we get outside I asked him why he said penis.
He looked very offended & got upset, saying "I didn't say penis".
Me: "What did you say"
Very proudly, but still offended, he replied "I said p**sy".
Now we have taught him this word means cat so he really didn't say anything wrong in his eyes.
I told him he can't say that at school and not to say it again.
Meanwhile, I have an embarrassed teen girl, an adult teacher who thinks I am one heck of a parent & a husband who is turning red & choking with laughter.
Now I have to face these people...every....day.
Yep.
As if my stomach isn't turned into knots to begin with from my normal day to day stress.
All I can say is Thank God for Alka Seltzer.
