A childhood belief about swearing

I'm a teacher and one of my little tattle tales came up to me one day and told me little tommy had said a bad word, so i asked him what the word was, and he said he was too embrarassed to say it, so i told him to spell it, and he goes "well... s... h..." and i said "okay!, tommy get up here!" and tommy goes "no i didnt say a bad word, i promise, so i asked my little tattler what the word was. and he wispers "stupid", leave it to first graders to spell....
