Sitting in Molly's in Hanover:
Dash: "That shithead Antonio took my horse."
Mama, to Guv: "Did he say what I think he just said?"
Guv: "He probably got it from you!"
Mama: "That's not a word I use."
Guv: "I'm pretty sure you called me shithead the other day."
Mama: "But he conjugated it! He used it in a sentence! It wasn't a passing 'shithead' -- it was in context!"
Dash: "That's right, Antonio's a shithead!"
Mama: "Dash, that is not a good word. That is a bad word. You cannot say that word."
Dash: "Shithead?"
Mama: "Yes, that word. It's not okay to use that bad word. Mama won't use it either, okay? Let's think of another word to use..."
Dash: "Poopiehead!"
Mama, looks at Guv: "One step at a time..." To Dash, "Poopiehead is better, but wouldn't it be best to just call Antonio a buffoon?"
Dash: "I think he's a poopiehead."
Oh well.
