When it wouldn't budge she turned to me and said 'Oh fick it Mummy'. I got told off by my father-in-law (who used to swear like a trooper, himself!) for letting her use 'that kind of language'. He clearly didn't believe me when I explained that what she was asking me to do was FIX it. What he thought she was saying was a favourite word of his but not one she ever heard in our house!
Which reminds me of two year old Mitchell reprimanding four year old Jess for uttering the words 'Broken Hill'.
Not guilty Your Honour. I blame the father (a sailor).
