Stupid Word

While I was busy cleaning the house today, Elle was busy with her toys. She was being quite good, until I heard her exclaim, “Stupid toy! Stupid toy! Stupid toy!” I immediately went in to see what the problem was; and I found that the problem was not at all alarming. She just simply couldn’t get one of her toys to do the thing she wanted it to. I then told her that she should not say the word stupid, because it is not a polite word. Elle then paused what she was doing, looked at me, and said, “It’s a stupid word.”
