My 5 year old girl told me today that the boys at school had been talking about boobies and the "effort" word. I think she meant 'F' word. She said she didn't know what they meant but she thought it was rude. She then asked if tea was ready. So no harm done. Phew. Only a matter of time though, I'm sure.
When telling a friend this, she said her daughter, of the same age had got very cross with her and said she was going to kick her in the peanuts. I think she meant penis. Just to be clear. I said penis for the first time on my blog. Just there. How funny. Sorry, how old am I? Right now, approximately 7.
Another friend said when her boy, same age, was playing on the Wii and getting annoyed he cried out, 'Oh Ship!'
So shipping hell, it's late, I think I need to effort off to bed and show some love to my husbands peanuts.

Oh how sweet and innocent... You cannot even tell them it's a bad word. Love it!
Snigger!! (And coffee coming out of the nose again!) We're all at that stage when we know that soon, pretty soon in fact, we will be having THOSE conversations with our little'uns. Excuse me whilst I pack my bags to go visit that famous river in Egypt! x
Love the post.
Saw your comments on Modern Mother's blog and can relate to wanting a new computer.
An award for you over at mine. :)
Oh dear-next time my daughter stamps on my foot/slaps me/does something to cause me to nearly swear, I shall remember those handy alternatives, I'm sure by now that when I rush into the garden and swear with the door closed, my neighbour thinks I'm mad or suffering from severe tourettes.
Apparantly I used to think it was called a Peewit.
Sex/ornothology - all the same to a 5 year old
Ooh, you really ARE back! Excellent stuff Confused, I shall remove my black mourning hat poste haste.
Funny thing that swearing stuff. Still is as alluring as ever for kids.
And then they get to that funny age in the juniors where they're not supposed to know swearwords and yet they do.
xxxx
I thought from the title your post was going to be something about either peanut allergies or Charlie Brown and Snoopy. But so, so much better!
I see it more as a scary thing, where do kids that young get these things from?
Hilarious. And I nominated you for British Mummy blogger of the week, hope that's OK...
I LOVE it. Kicking someone in the peanuts. Just typing that has got bought out the guffaw again. Perfect.
When my oldest was a toddler she used to look slyly at me and say "Baddy ell, baddy ell". Living in the States, no one knew what the heck she was saying so I just let her get on with it. She soon stopped when she realised I wasn't taking the bait.
Oh so very funny. That will have me chuckling for the rest of the day. Thanks.
MM - Sweet and innocent?? Hmm, I hope so. Although today, she was asking me and her sister to look at her bum. What is the obsession with bums when you are 5? Did you ever play doctors and nurses at that age?
That girl - Coffee out of the nose? Not a good look lady! And I want to take the trip down The Nile with you please ;o)
HT - I took my post down that I put up to win a computer after reading MM's blog...I thought the chances of winning it were pretty low. I will just have to keep playing the Lottery! Ooh and an award - how lovely xx

Jennysmith - Juniors? I am just getting to grips with the infants! Aargh!
NVG - Although I am partial to a bit of snoopy and Charlie Brown, aren't you?
Laura - I think they get them from older siblings or parents! Unavoidable I think. Unless we wrap them in cotton wool. Which is oh, so tempting!
Potty Mummy - I have already said it over at yours, but thanks so much. Am enjoying my 15 seconds of fame :o)
Brit in Bosnia - I love the word guffaw. Thanks for stopping by lovely lady. I also love the word perfect.
Expat Mum - I now have an image of a miniature Eliza Dolittle running around your house shouting 'Baddy 'ell!'
DancinFairy - And thank you for coming x
my niece always used to order 'shittin nuggets and shits' when I took her to maccy d's. I still call them that even now.
My own two year old has only managed 'shupup' so far but only matter of time!
And sometimes I will admit, I do need to 'shupup' like now!
Oh yes, I love Snoopy.
Congrats on being Blogger of the Week. have tagged you over at mine, by the way.
We've had the opposite problem with my two year old which is him swearing like a trooper while trying to say normal words like 'fork' for example or 'cheese' or 'butter which has come out like 'F**k s**t bast**d or combinations there-of...
LOL you do make me laugh :-D
my little boy has started asking if he can see my "chunkies" (boobies) i have no idea where that came from !!!
thanks for visiting my blog - and yes i am a bit worried have peaked to early and used up all ideas oops!

Unless "effort" is what young things call sex these days? Perhaps young blokes hang around eyeing up girls, saying:
"ooh, fancy a bit of effort with that one..."
"Yeah, she looks like she'd be a great effort".
Maybe girls ask each other
"Did you, you know, last night, did you and he, really, like, well, like, make an effort with each other?"
It's a little more poetic than 'bonking'.
Thanks so much for your comment on mine, by they way. Loved what you said.
