What's the bad word?

The passing of patriarch Delbert Kluver brought about memories from a long-ago time of simplicity and innocence. (see his obituary below) Lorlee's big sister, LuAnn, and her big brother, Duane, attended the Oak Grove one-room country school with us as well. Upon reading of Delbert's passing, LuAnn recalled this anecdote to share with us:

LuAnn writes:
I remember that Duane was called into the schoolhouse by the teacher because one of the little Kluver boys (cannot remember which one) said that Duane had said a "bad word." Duane had not a clue what he had said.
It was "peter."
