So Kerry told me yesterday that Zach couldn't go to soccer practice with Hannah because he was wearing his school shoes with no socks.

"That's Ghetto!" he says. SO then I said, "that is not ghetto you're ghetto." (I know I am so mature)

SO later while I am making dinner we have this conversation

Zach: "Mom, what does ghetto mean?"
Mom: "What? where did you hear that?"
Zach: "you told dad he was ghetto."
Mom: "oh yeah well ask your dad what it means when he gets home."
Zach: "Mom, you really shouldn't say words if you don't know what they mean!"

I was trying so hard not to laugh. We have told him that in the past when he has used some off color words that he heard at school, so I guess my own advice was coming back to haunt me. Anyways, I thought it was funny...AND good to know that some of what I tell my children does in fact stay with them
