Don't say...bum.
A small personage was telling me that Mum had bought her lip balm for her cracked lips.
I thought I hadn't heard her properly so I said "You know, it sounds like you are saying 'lip bum'" !
To which she replied "That's what it's called, isn't it ?".

I am not a fan of lip balm...at all.
But a quick survey at this house shows that even the 10 year old thinks it's lip 'BUM'...I dare you all to ask any kids you know what they think it's called.

yes - mine think its Lip Bum, and because of this Luke won't call it that as "bum" is a rude word. So he calls it his Lipstick.....part of me wants to step in and check him on this, the other part is grateful he's not blaspheming in our house by saying "bum"
