I was listening to the radio on the way home yesterday when the DJs started talking about Lana's cat, who has started stealing underpants from neighbours and bringing them home. Someone mentioned the word "panties" and they all cringed, talking about how you shouldn't use "the 'p' word". Clearly big ears in the back was also listening...
Em: Mum, what's the "p" word?
Me: They're talking about the word "panties".
Em: What does pandies mean?
Me: Panties. It's another word for underpants. But some people think it's not a very nice word.
Em: And is it?
Me: Well, it's not a swear word, and it's not a rude word as such, but some people think it sounds kind of icky.
Em: Oh, yeah, I think that too. It sounds like a panda wearing undies!
That sounds exactly like the kind of thing one of our kids would come out with :) (one of ours thought the words to the song were "He's got the whole world in his pants")...
ReplyDeleteClassic :) I love listening to Ember's interpretation of lyrics - what she sings is often hilarious (and sometimes better than the original!)
