Thou shalt not es-double-you-ee-ay-are

In common with most parents of young children, TH and I are in the habit of filtering out swear words from our conversations and spelling out certain words (B-I-S-C-U-I-T-S and S-W-E-E-T-S and so on).

Sometimes we even spell out the swear words, because sometimes you just gotta swear.

Me: 'He can be a little bee-you-gee-gee-ee-are sometimes, can't he?'

TH: 'Yes he can!'

Having listened intently to the exchange, TD chipped in: 'Mummy, I want to gee-gee-ee-are!'

So, I guess we are close to calling time out on the spelling trick.
