Conversation of the Day: Kindergarten Slang
While I was in the kitchen cooking supper, Dr. Peds was going through an enormous pile of his mail while sitting next to the fireplace, and Mr. SP was a few feet away working on homework.
Mr. SP: I HATE this homework!
Dr. Peds: Well, what kind of homework would be better?
Mr. SP: I hate ALL homework.
Dr. Peds: Well, homework is just a part of school.
Mr. SP: The only good part of school is gym. Gym ROCKS!
Dr. Peds: Gym Rocks? (spoken in a questioning way because it was the first time we’d ever heard a kidlet use “rocks” that way before)
Mr. SP: Yeah, Dad. It rocks. Rocks means its really, really great and exciting. Like you are happy to be there. (Spoken in a tone that was a bit condescending, like: good grief I have to explain EVERYTHING to these parents . . . they just never get out.)

Just wait until they start calling you “dude.” That’s where I draw the line. I refuse to respond to dude. Ma, Mom, Mother, Mama: all fine. Dude: no way.
