me: Mom, can you tell me the thing about “stupid” again?
mom: Yes, Ben, “stupid” is a mean thing to say, so we don’t use that word. It’s a “bad word.”
me: So I can’t say that?
mom: Right.
me: But, I can say “crocodile”?
mom: Of course you can.
me: But if a crocodile eats you – that will be bad.
mom: Yes, it would.
me: So, we can’t say “crocodile” then.
mom: Ok, Ben.

Bad words
Annabel is baptized!
Sunday was Annabel’s big day – she was baptized! Uncle Matt and Tia Karen are her godparents. (Mine are Cousin Dave and Aunt Mamie in case you forgot).

Her christening gown is the same one that Daddy and Tia Karen and all the cousins wore for their baptisms – and me too!
