not quite what I thought

Some may see this as a cop out, but it is late and I am tired, so here's another funny Abby story to tide you over until tomorrow.

Abby: Is the f word a bad word?
Me: Where did you hear that?
Abby: Marcus* said it. He said the f word and the b word. Are they bad words?
Me: Yes, Abby they are very bad words. You should never say them and tell Marcus they aren't nice to say either.
Abby: Okay.

Later that day I made some time to sit down and talk about this with Abby some more.

Me: So what is the b word Marcus said.
Abby: Pee.
Me: Huh?
Abby: Pee. You know, going pee.
Me: Ohhhhh, pee word. Not b word.
Abby: Is that a bad word?
Me: Well it can be. You can say you're going pee, that's okay, but it's not okay to call someone a pee pee head. Okay?
Abby: Okay.
Me: And what was the f word Marcus said?
Abby. He said to eff it. That's the f word.

* name changed to protect the sort of innocent.

One time I was riding with a friend and her daughter and she blurts out to me "Mommy says the f word". My friend asked her what word was that, and her daughter proceeded to say "F%*K". I almost choked I laughed so hard.
