And She Swears Up and Down

Pioneer Street, that is. LLSS swore in public today. Well, we were walking on the sidewalk and I don't think anyone was near enough to hear, but...

(Sun shining brightly through the trees)

CLARE

"Oh shit, I need my sunglasses."

KATE

"What?"

CLARE

"Oh shit, I need my sunglasses."

KATE

(not sure if I am hearing correctly)

"What did you say?"

CLARE

"Oh shit..."

KATE

"Umm, we don't say that. We say, "Oh bummer."

CLARE

"Oh bummer, I need my sunglasses."

End of conversation. She didn't bring it up again, although now I know that it is stored in there. And I'm pretty sure, in hindsight, that she has said it several times before but I thought she was saying something else. We're now solidly focused on "BUMMER" and I am preparing myself in advance for all those call home from school. Yikes!
