Josh was giving me a rendition of the song Kinder is singing at the Elementary Christmas program. As he sang "Silent Night, Holy..." he froze. "Mum," he said. "Do they know holy is a bad word?" I knew exactly what he was thinking and so did Rose. She said, "No, it's not a bad word. It's used for God". I agreed, "Because it's used for God, it's not good to put it with other words that don't have that special meaning, so when you say 'holy moly' or whatever, it's not a bad word, but used the wrong way."
He was relieved. The Elem Christmas program was almost doomed in his mind for a minute there!
