So among other things, Connor has been learning about words that rhyme in kindergarten. So today, while in the car, he asks me, "Hey mom, what rhymes with store?"
I say, "Bore."
He says, "Yeah. I have one: whore." (Connor just takes letters and adds them to the ending sound, sometimes not knowing if he's coming up with a real word.)
I half choke/half laugh in shock, while driving.
Connor says, "What? Is whore a word?"
I tell him, "Yes, but it's not a nice one."
So Connor asks, "Well, what is a whore?"
I'm not prepared to answer that, so I tell him it's just not a nice word and we shouldn't say it. He accepts that--for now. So, unpleasant discussion avoided for the time being. And hopefully we won't soon discuss what rhymes with truck.
