Sitting around the dinner table several days ago. Children all talking about this and that....my eldest tells me a story from his last week in school before the break:
Apparently he was talking to a friend in class and this phrase comes out of his mouth "You're Mama"...teacher hears and takes him outside the room for a little talking to, here is what happened...
Teacher: Why would you say something like that to someone about their mother? That was rude and disrespectful?
Child: I'm sorry, it is just a phrase, I didn't think about it that way.
Teacher: Do you live with your mother?
Child: No.
Teacher: Is your mother alive?
Child: (looks teacher dead in the eyes, then stares at the floor) I don't want to talk about it.
Teacher: Well, alright then, go back into class.
Just as soon as I reach the point that this does not make me chuckle, I will punish the boy!

Any child that can think that fast on his feet gets my vote!
