Funny Madi...

Last night at dinner Brent was telling us about how the Confined Space class went that he taught to some guys at Blacks Creek Dam yesterday. Madi started to ask what a Dam was...so Brent explained it to her then we started to talk about something else...a few minutes later this is how the conversation went:
Madi- "Dad what was that 'dang' thing called again?"
Brent and I looked at each other thinking it was kinda funny that she used the word 'dang' in place for 'Dam'...funny cause it is actually the slang word for the swear word, ya know...so we started to laugh.
Madi wanted to know why we were laughing, Brent contemplated telling her that the word Dam was also used as a bad word sometimes...but then we decided not to. Then:
Madi- "I know it is a bad word."
us- "How do you know that?"
Madi- "From the Ninja Turtles."
We asked how she learned it from them.
Then she quoted from the movie, very loudly, "OH DAMN"
I have never laughed so hard in my life!!!
