I hate that word... but...

So I heard a story today about a nine year old boy from one of our programs.

His mom picked him up from program about four weeks ago, and they were driving home. He was waving at people from the back seat (something he frequently does) and shouting a word out to each car that passed them.

He said it once, and she had the stereo on and thought she must have misheard him.

And then they were sitting at an intersection, and cars were going by and he was waving to them and cheerfully calling out, "Cunt!!"

She said, horrified, "What did you say??"
"Cunt!" he said. "It's French for hello!"

"Uh, NO!! It is NOT!! Where did you hear that word???"

"From Emily."
Emily is a classmate, also in the 4th grade. She told him the word and lied to him about the meaning to get him to say it. She's done this a couple times during the school year, and his mom has told him to check with her when he doesn't know the meaning of the word... and not to rely on Emily for the meaning.

::snort::

And I really do not like that word.
But I thought the story was hysterical and had to share.
