Heard from the front seat

Zachary: Mom, our bus driver said, "sh....." today. You know, the s-h- word?? The bad one.

Me in my head: Holy Crap! What the heck???

Me out loud: You mean, sh.....

...and you know, I just about said it. The really bad one, just to make sure they heard him right, but thank God I stopped myself just in time.

Zachary: YES! He said shut up!

Neighbor girl: Uh huh, he did (with plenty of vigorous nodding of the head and wide eyes)

Zachary: But not to us (quickly reassuring me)

WHEW!!

Thank you, Lord for holding my tongue.
I really didn't want to be the one to reach him that word.
