Cock Of The Walk

Today was one of those days I'll remember for years to come.

Zed and I were playing with his animal blocks. As I handed him a block, I told him the name of the animal on the block and the sound it made. And then I got to the peacock block.

Me: Pea-cock.
Zed: COCK!

A funny look washed over his face. It was as if some tiny voice from deep inside his body told him that it was a "dirty" word. A fun word, but one that the majority of the population frowns upon.

So he did what any self-respecting boy would do when faced with this newfound knowledge: he ran around the house for the next five minutes yelling, "COCK! COCK! COCK! COCK! COCK!" over and over and over again.

And like any proud father, I shed a little tear.

At this rate, I'll have his Memory Book For The Cynical Parent completed in no time at all!
