Rosetta Stone, or a botched bad word?

Running during pregnancy with swollen feet caused a lovely blood blister to form under the nail on my right my big toe. Needless to say, it's gross. After simply ignoring it, the nail itself is falling off big-time.

When CR took a peek at my toenail that's falling off, he had this to say...

"Mommy, it's a shee-show."

Thinking my child suddenly took an interest in the mandarin language, I asked him to repeat what he had said...

"Mommy, it's a shee-show."

In looking at CR, and then at my toe, I put two and two together...

"CR, do you mean it's a shit-show?"

"Yeah, a shee-show, that's right, it's a shee-show"

Well, he may not be pronouncing it correctly, and he shouldn't be saying it to begin with, but at least he is using it in the right context...
