Loophole

Yesterday's corner time: 9 Minutes.

There was a scare yesterday morning when my Dad thought he had found three smudged sixes behind my left ear. However, it turned out to be just some jam left over from breakfast. Phew.

I’ve discovered a loophole in the swearing law. Now, if Dad says anything resembling a swear word, I simply question:

“Did you say b*#*#!y? You shouldn’t say b*#*#!y. You should go in the corner if you said b*#*#!y. Did you say b*#*#!y?”

Eventually, Dad twigged and I got corner time anyway.

In the afternoon, I discovered that it irritates the hell out of parents when you make up a word and then keep asking them where that item is.

So, throughout the rest of the day, I kept asking where my "gobby-gobby" was. Hilarious.

Eventually, my Dad suggested that if I didn't shut my "gobby-gobby", I'd seriously regret it.

I knew it. I knew my kids did that on purpose when they asked for something I hadn't taught them.

I hope they don't hold the revealing of trade secrets against me!
