Definitions do matter...

So today Master five said something very cheeky to me, and before I could answer him, Master Eight sternly said “That’s no way to talk to a pregnant mother!”

Well, after I’d finished choking, I asked him what he thought “pregnant” means. It turned out that he thought it meant any woman who had EVER grown a baby in her tummy.

I feel like I should email a disclaimer to the parents of all his friends! Who knows what rumors he’s started, or who he’s embarrassed. Although I suppose that I might have heard about it by now if he had done either.

And when reading the story i thought he was going to say thats no way to talk to your mum… Pitty he had to add the pregnant into it but that was lovely comment i am sure you remind him about at his 21st birthday..

Perhaps that explains why my kids used to think every second teacher in the school was pregnant!

Kids say the funniest things! 🙂 Well, don’t mind if some damage has already been done. At least now he knows what pregnant means! 🙂
