If your son is seven, maybe he shouldn't be watching a soap where an alcoholic falls into a river and drowns...

Ours have come home with some VERY colourful language before. You just tell them "that's naughty, and you don't say it".

I think a lot of kids know more than their parents are willing to accept.
I remember "look and read" (I think it was called) with this weird floating robot thing called Wordy (man in a suit, basically).
Anyway, at the age of, roughly 8-10 I guess, when he was going on about "magic E", I just couldn't help but laugh, when they said that E changes the way of looking at things.
Now, just to make it clear, I'd never taken E at this age, obviously, but I was already aware of it. A fact that seemed lost on the teachers.

Schools TV was awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Gq17O-HRc for a bit of magic E!!

Did anyone else have to watch a farm safety video when they where at school? It was called Apaches and was bloody horrifying for 8 year olds, part 1 is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh60KeLmJqY and part 2 links from it.

Farm safety? Most of the kids I was in primary school with were from farms, which meant almost all of us played on farms, so no, we didn't get any safety videos!

Brilliant! Would be even better if Ma Dingle used a "snatch mouse" instead.
On the subject of kids knowing more than you'd want them to, remember this....?
Michael: Maybe it was an iguana.
Elliot: It was *no* iguana.
Michael: Maybe, um - You know how they say there are alligators in the sewers?
Gertie: Alligators in the sewers.
Mary: All we're trying to say is, maybe you just probably imagined it. It happened...
Elliot: I couldn't have imagined it!
Michael: Maybe it was a pervert or a deformed kid or something.
Gertie: A deformed kid.
Michael: [mockingly] Maybe an elf or a leprechaun.
Elliot: It was nothing like that, penis-breath!
Mary: [laughs in shock] *Elliott!* Sit down

Am I the only one who didn't understand that then?
