On the time line for me it falls somewhere between the phonics and therabbits.We were with some older kids (those naughty older kids!) and they thought it would be fun to play a rhyming game. They wanted my sister to say words that rhyme with luck. And start with an f. Of course my sister is smart and quick and yelled out the answer. Go sis. Then the older kids proceeded to go tell on her for saying that word! We were both so confused. I remember getting older and learning the f-word and going "ohhhhh that is what they made her say!!"cadh 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16229405846825667683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-74769557415491282602010-02-13T16:31:51.892-05:002010-02-13T16:31:51.892-05:00Awesome post. I laughed the entire way through. I ...Awesome post. I laughed the entire way through. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you, but I know your parents, and this completely made my day. <br /><br />I think the only word I learned phonetically before the meaning was the F word (It's a lot easier to explain the 'lesser' of the evils. "another word for your butt" was a famous ass-planation.)<br /><br />The F-word was given to me as a naive adolescent by a mischievous older boy in our school. It involved a word game where "Alpha Q. Up" was introduced at a sllooooww pace and sped up to form a naughty phrase. <br /><br />I was first excited at being worthy of the older boy's attention, but what I thought was some secret phrase that would grant me ultimate coolness was really a fast way to the bad place. <br /><br />Did I pass it on? Probably. <br /><br />Thanks for the entertainment. The pictures made it especially classic. Who knew the level of scandalous behavior inside that innocent, bunny mind....matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06499915885700970563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-44052894296312122452010-02-12T20:09:07.266-05:002010-02-12T20:09:07.266-05:00I added a PS for you.

When ...Cadh8. You must now tell the asphalt story!<br /><br />When I spoke with your father about this post, he demanded the inclusion of asphalt!<br /><br />Cursing, says your father, is an artform. Not just anyone can curse properly. He insists that my attempts are feeble and lame. I do not have the right rhythm for it, which is, always, learned in childhood and cannot be conjured up at the last minute in adulthood. His father, he declares, was masterful, especially in Italian. The words poured out like a beautiful music with grace. Andante, largo, allegretto, and with perfect harmony.<br /><br />I fear, no matter how you try. You will never be able to curse with that level of expertise.<br /><br />Sorry. I suppose it's my fault.brdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999205528107936871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28353717.post-14134541377231041772010-02-11T07:47:17.882-05:002010-02-11T07:47:17.882-05:00Such good memories.
