Really? Not even on fish?

I was hurrying my students out of the computer lab the other day by flickering the lights because I have a few dawdlers. The lab doesn't have any windows, so when you turn off the lights, it's quite dark.

Lucas, one of my grade 1 students, was the last one in the lab and I had flicked the lights a couple of times before I turned them off completely. As he was coming down the steps, I heard Lucas mutter, "Oh, tartar sauce!"

Perplexed, I asked, "Lucas, did you just say tartar sauce?"

"Yep," he replied.

"Why did you say tartar sauce?"

"Because I don't like being in the dark."

"But why did you say tartar sauce?" Still confused.

"Because I don't like tartar sauce either."

I think I'm going to use that one. That is a really great swear replacement.

It's sweeping the nation! I told another teacher and she said it the other day!
