Yesterday Eliza began to taddle on Davis, "Moooooooom, Davis is pointing his little finger at me."
Mom, "So?"
Eliza, "Davis said that in China, pointing your little finger at someone is like saying the "F" word."
Mom, "Davis, they don't use the same letters in China. There is no letter F in China."
Davis, "What?!?! They don't use letters?"
Mom, "They use different characters--not like our alphabet. They speak Chinese--that is different than English. They don't use our alphabet."
Davis, "Oh. . . . ."
Mom, "Davis, what is the "F" word?"
Davis, "I don't know. Someone at school said it was a bad word."
Mom, "Hmmmmmmm. Why were you pointing your little finger at Eliza?"
Davis, "I don't know."
Mom, "Nice. . . .Let's not make any rude gestures at anyone, okay?"

Kids learn (or teach) the worst things at school. At least he didn't hear the actual word. "F word" is bad enough for little 5 year old minds!
It is so interesting and entertaining the ways kids figure things out. my daughter thinks there is a bad word for every letter of the alphabet. It has been kinda amusing watching the whole thing...
