My adopted niece
My girlfriend's sister and brother-in-law have a lovely little daughter that has just turned two and she is the most amazingly together and funny child I've ever met.

Her dad, Alan, is a real 'rough diamond' petrol head into building and racing rally cars and swearing a lot. Her mother rides horses, so we're wondering whether little 'Boo' (as we call her) is going to end up being a Gymkhana Jemima or a tom boy who likes messing with engines.

Anyway, as I said, Alan likes swearing a LOT but he's very conscious of it when around his daughter and so uses a fairly innocuous word instead. The chosen word is 'badger'. Boo has cottoned on to this though and, when playing on her own, is often heard to say at the top of her voice "Oh badger!" when she drops something or injures herself. One day we were all sat round drinking coffee and in comes a two-year old, fearlessly running on tottering two year old legs that had only just learned to walk shouting "Badger badger badger badger badger badger!!!"
