Lovely and talented (but sometimes hears T's when there are none)

My daughter had a friend over yesterday after school.


Me: Okay, you two kiddies have fun playing out back.
Wife, shocked: What did you just say?
Me: I said "have fun playing."
Wife: No. Did you just...
She shakes her chest, mardi gras style.
Me: Kiddies. K-iddies. With a K.
Wife: Ohhh.
Wife: Good.

He’s been busted a few times, and I’m relieved to know I’m not as crazy as I thought I was. So fess up! You really said the T word, didn’t you?
