Words that end in "it"

FABJ has been very helpful in teaching ORBJ her letters - she would write the "letter of the day" in the morning, and we'd think of words that begin with that letter.  Of course, there is the inevitable Dr. Seuss reference: "Big I, little i, what begins with I?"

After finishing the letters, FABJ suggested we move on to sounds.  So, yesterday, she chose "it".  It was breakfast time, we were tired, we were naive, etc.  So we asked ORBJ for words with sounds.  FABJ suggested "hit".  ORBJ thinks for a second and says ,,, yep, you guessed it .. "sh*t".

Of course, my response was "What?!"  So ORBJ repeats herself.

FABJ tries to help out asking ORBJ, "don't you mean hit?"

ORBJ: "No, sh*t". (Said matter of factly, of course.)

LBJ: "That's not a nice word, so let's not repeat it."

Nothing more said.  (We were able to not laugh in front of the kids.  At least I think we were - I was pretty tired.)

I tried to blame LBJ, since she is (a) Irish and (b) a sailor, but she pointed out that she does not use that type of language in front of the girls.
