A Slip of the Tongue

So we were having a family home evening on appropriate launguage and avoiding profanity. As I began to tell the story of a farmer who had recently cracked his ribs and still held his tongue in great pain, I accidentally pronounced the "ck" as "pp". My point was somehow lost. Everyone laughed until tears streamed down their faces. It took more than five minutes to settle down enough to continue with the lesson. The moral of this story, speak slowly and deliberately when you want to teach proper use of language in your home.
