“Bollocks!” Ron exclaimed as his wand slipped and an ugly vase he’d been dusting went crashing to the floor. Typically, he would have just swept the pieces into the bin, but the knickknack had been a wedding gift from Hermione’s aunt and she would notice if it went missing.
“Daddy what’s bollocks mean?” four-year-old Hugo asked from his seat on the couch.
“Ur… it means… time to clean this mess up,” Ron blushed.

“Sod it!” Ron growled as the Chudley Cannons lost to Puddlemere United, ending the Quidditch season with the worst record in the league for the fourth year in a row.
“What’s sod mean?” Hugo wanted to know, cocking his head to the side and looking so much like Hermione that Ron had to smile.
“It just means that our team lost.”
“Okay.”

As Ron and Hugo walked out of Fortescue’s each holding a large cone, they passed Draco Malfoy and his son walking into the ice cream shop.
“Stupid, pale, wanker,” Ron muttered under his breath as the door swung shut.
“Daddy, stupid is a bad word.”
“Yeah, sorry mate.”
“What’s wanker mean?”
“It’s like… an old school friend,” Ron told him, feeling slightly guilty and really glad that Hermione wasn’t around.

Hugo came into the kitchen rubbing his bottom. His face was streaked with tears.
“What’s wrong, mate?” Ron asked turning away from the stove.
“Mummy gave me a spanking,” he said, taking a deep breath to keep from sobbing.
”Why?” Ron asked, looking perplexed. Hermione rarely physically disciplined the children.
“I don’t think that bollocks, sod, and wanker mean what you think they do,” Hugo sniffed sadly.
