I'm a sucker for short stories like this one. I remember hearing Jon Ronson on This American Life and thinking he was great.

CuteKidFilter;

We're having a drink with some friends outside earlier this year, we're sitting at the table after the meal. One of my daughters comes in reporting she knows the worst swear word of all, and someone in her class says it all the time. Starts with a C. Tension is palpable. I ask her to tell me. She refuses to voivece the C word being that she doesn't want to get in trouble. We all want to hear it, yet don't want to at the same time. Finally she acquiences. Crap.

Yup darling, that's the worst swear ever. But you should never say it.
