At least I thought my kids were too young to know any other "bad words", until JT piped up.
JT: Why is "fluck" a bad word?
Me: What?
(To Myself: What did he say and why does it sound like a word a second-grader shouldn't know? I should note we were in the car, and JT was in the back seat, making it difficult to hear him.)
(To Myself: What did he say and why does it sound like a word a second-grader shouldn't know? I should note we were in the car, and JT was in the back seat, making it difficult to hear him.)
JT: "Fluck", so and so yelled it out in class and he got in trouble.
Me: Ohhh
(To Myself: "crap" and shooting a worried look to Hubby)
JT: Then what's his name said it was a bad word and he too has used it.
To Myself: *%&#$#& Who thought public school was a good idea?
JT: So why is it a bad word?
Hubby: Well, what so and so actually said ........ (stopping to look at wife who is hissing at him and shooting daggers from her eyes.)
Me, to Hubby: Shhhhhhh (hissing) he has no idea what the actually word is, why should we correct him!
Me: Well, it sounds like so and so yelled out in class, and yelling out in class isn't a good thing, regardless what he yelled. Right?
JT: Oh
To Myself: How long do we have till the next question, and am I ready with an answer?

Oh boy! I don't look forward to dealing with these situations in the future!
oooo boy! Yes that is certainly a word a 2nd grader shouldn't know. But I am with you.. I wouldn't correct the pronunciation!
No sense in giving him more to think about - I'm with you - don't give him the correct pronunciation. :)
