Bad Words

Yesterday at breakfast Will was relaying to me a story in which someone in his class told the teacher that he said "the B word". I asked Will what the "B word" was and he solemnly said, "Blood."

He told me that he has been thinking a lot about the B word and the other alphabet words. He wishes he knew what all these bad words were. He said that he thinks that the "P word is Poop" which means that the "E word must be Pee" since P is already taken. Apparently Will has surmised that there is a bad word for each and every letter of the alphabet.

After a few moments he threw down his spoon and said, "These bad words are so silly because people don't even seem to know what they all are!" He said solemnly again, "My friend says that she knows what the F word is." I asked him what it was and he said in a very serious and quiet voice, "Fuff" Then we laughed. He said these bad words are so ridiculous because they don't even mean anything.
