She is obsessed with talking about poo and farts at the minute and now keeps saying bum. But today she said 'I ate a bum at school today' and was laughing. I said 'A bun? What bun was it?' She said 'No, a bum, bum' I asked her what she meant and she said she was joking. Explained not to joke about things like that. She said someone in her class has been saying it. Should I be concerned?

Came to point out the same. Mumsnet is such a contradictory place.

This is just kid talk! She will grow out of it.

A school trip with year 1 kids in the first month back - you are very brave.

My teacher mum was once asked by a child in her class 'Mrs XXX would you prefer to fart glitter out of your bum or burp bubbles out of your mouth?' Kid was 7 I think. I don't know how she didn't burst out laughing. Another child also dedicated his lunchtime to writing 'I am sory I am norty I do like scool' on a piece of loo roll.
