What the -?
My son (our oldest) came home from 2nd grade the other day really on edge. Upon asking him what the problem was he said, “I’m really worried that I’m going to be in big trouble because I think I know what the F-word is now.” So he spelled it quietly into his mom’s ear and, yep, some girl in his class taught him the F-word. So we explained that knowing the word isn’t going to get him into any trouble, but using it probably would. He sighed a sigh of relief and said, “Good, because I don’t even know what it means”. So I told him that it’s used in different situations to mean a lot of things and so a person has to be careful about how they use it. I told him that one of the meanings is that it is kind of the ultimate way of saying “Oh, Man!” when someone is super-duper upset. He said, “Oh, OK” and that was the end of that.
