Discworld fans: The 3-year-old has started saying "Bugrit!"
Both of her parents are Pratchett fans; I haven't read any except "Where's My Cow?" (the picture book). Neither has the child.

But, she's had "Where's My Cow?"for the last several months. We were in the bathroom at a restaurant this weekend, and she dropped some toilet paper on the floor. She picked it up, shouted "oh bugger it!" and threw it away.

It took me a minute to realize she hadn't picked up some British slang at preschool or something -- she's just turned into Foul Old Ron.

Weird kid.
