The “S” Word

“Mom, Mom!”

Izzy comes rushing through the front door, out of breath.

“You know those kids in the blue house on the corner?”

“Yes.”

“Well, guess what they called Maddie and me?”

Uh oh.

“I don’t know. What did they say?”

“The “S” word.”

“Really?”

“Yes,” (whispering in my ear) “they called us Stupid and Poopy Heads.”

“Well that’s good. I mean, it’s not, but it’s not as bad as it could have been.”

Dodged a bullet there.
