Scaffolding

While I’m walking down the street this afternoon on my way to work, I happen to be right in front of some guy walking his son in a stroller. The kid appears to be around two and a half or three. Here’s a little bit of their conversation:

Dad: When we get home we’ll see mommy.

Kid: Mommy

A guy walks by us with his dog.

Kid: Doggy

Dad: That’s right, a doggy.

Now the kid points toward one of the buildings and mutters something that I (not being fluent in baby garble) have no idea what he says.

Kid: skfkdig

Dad: That’s right, scaffolding.

What the fuck? Three years old and he knows what a fucking scaffolding is? Signs you need to get your kid out of the city more. He probably knows a grand total of 50 – 100 words. Scaffolding should NOT be one of them.

I can’t make this shit up.
