May 26, 2009Kid Poison Phrase: I’ll run get help in case you get hurt

Filed under: Poison Phrase of the Week,Uncategorized by merylrunion |

The Detective Mom knows a Poison Phrase when she hears one. Her latest post tells the tale about how she overheard her daughter’s friend say,

- Okay, try it from here. I’ll stand over here so I can run and get help if you get hurt.

It turned out the friend was trying to get her to jump from the top of the basement stairs.

The post is titled, “Sometimes you just don’t wanna know.” In good SpeakStrong fashion, however, her post makes it clear that the osterich approach just doesn’t work. You may think you don’t want to know, but you do.
