MaxieC, Master of the English Language

My dear parents will be visiting us starting in roughly two weeks. That means we have to start putting things in place now to make it look like we're not terrible parents. The first thing we need to do is break The Childrens of their habits of saying "shut up" and "idiot" all the time. Habits The Mrs. today accused me of teaching them when she said, "I never say those words."

Which is a filthy lie, but there's no point in trying to argue it. If there's one key to a happy marriage, it's that the Man is always the one at fault.

So at the dinner table, MaxieC blurted out "idiot!" for no apparent reason, and The Mrs. took action:

The Mrs.: "MaxieC, if I hear you..."

MaxieC: "Idiot!"

The Mrs.: "...say idiot..."

MaxieC: "Idiot!"

The Mrs.: "...one more time..."

MaxieC: "Iiiidiiii-ot!"

The Mrs.: "...it'll be naughty corner. Starting now!"

MaxieC: "Idi-shit!"

This may take some work.
