Teaching Thor a lesson
February 12, 2013

teachingthorD: Do you know Thor?

Me: Thor, the God of Thunder?

D: Yeah. The one with the hammer. He’s rude.

Me: How is he rude?

D: He thought he was the only one who mattered and he pushed people over if they were too slow or if they were in his way. He was a very mean person at the start, then he learnt a lesson, then he became good.

Me: How did learn his lesson?

D: He went to the land of giants – they were goody giants, not baddy giants, and he had a huge massive bottle of water and he could only drink a teeny bit of water. And the other giants tricked him because it was sea water. Then they had a huge race and Thor was left behind, even though he was so fast. The others tricked him with a giant – it was lightening, it was real flash Lightening! So Lightening won the race. And also they had a food race, and whoever ate the fastest and best the other person won. But they tricked him – it wasn’t a giant, it was FIRE! And there was a granny, and Thor had to try and beat the granny, but before he knew it he was flat on the floor, because the granny won, but I don’t know what the granny was.

forbiddenwordsD: Eth-word. Eth-word. Eth-word.

Me: What did you just say?

D: Nothing. I said it to myself.

Me: What did you say though?

D: Nothing!…
Mum, what’s a swear word?

Me: They’re naughty words. Who’s been talking about swear words?

D: My teacher at school said we shouldn’t use swear words, but I don’t know what they are.

Me: Good – then you won’t be using them.

D: But how will I know if I’m using them if I don’t know what they are?

Me: Hmmm…
