Little Britches

Yesterday, "Mary" came over to me with Disney's Jungle Book.

"Miss Fees," Mary asked. "How do you pronounce this word?" She points out the part where Baloo calls Mowgli "Little Britches".

I told Mary how to pronounce it and that it referred to pants.

Mary's eyes got big and she said, "But Miss Fees, isn't that a really bad word?"

I'm thinking... pants? a bad word? OH... no, I clarified that the word was close, but different ;)
