Secret

I was sipping my ice tea in peace when my elder one came and sat next to me quietly. My mommy instincts picked up immediately and I asked " you want to say something?"
Now, my elder one is the anti thesis of the younger one. Reticent and thoughtful, he rarely professes much information about himself. But today he was bubbling with excitement and the funny smile which comes with concealed truth.
He whispered ," Mumma, today in the afternoon, while you were sleeping, I discovered a bad word in my dictionary!"
My heart skipped a beat, I tried to dig up courage to broach the taboo topics with my 8 yr old son. As I braced myself, he continued with ," it begins with a P and it is on page no 256"
Truly in trouble, i asked quiveringly, " what is it?"
He blushed hard, came very close to my ears and said, "potty"

I still have a few more years of peace...... :))))
