The F-Bomb.

Brandon finally got interested enough in his new DS that he decided to play Mario Kart. He had a question about the game, so Bryan took it to figure out the answer. I heard an immediate *GASP* and "Go show this to your mother--DON'T LOOK AT IT, just take it to her." What the...? I looked and right there on the front of the car was an emblem that read, in bold capital letters, FUDGE. Only it wasn't "fudge". It was THE word, the big one, the queen mother of all dirty words. The F-dash-dash-dash-dash word! We bought this thing brand new, still wrapped up in the box. We bought the game used. Apparently, these cartridges keep some memory and this is how the former owner chose to turn it in to the store. In any other situation, kind of funny. For the parent of a first-grader who has excellent reading skills, not so funny. So Bryan re-customized the design of the car's logo and off he went.

I guess worse things could happen. Brandon could have taken the time to read what was written, but thankfully was too busy trying to play the game. We know it's just a matter of time before he, or one of the other kids, picks up on some choice words that Mommy & Daddy let slip sometimes. And when that happens, I'll let you all know about it!
