"Kids's"??? Really?

I am not even kidding.

I was watching "Untold Stories of the E.R." on TLC, "The Alleged Learning Channel", when one of the portrayers of a dramatization confessed to the doctor, "The kids's mother died last year."

Yes! She said, "kids's"! And it sounded like "kidz iz".

I almost fell out of my chair.

Do I really have to spell it out?

The plural of "kid" is "kids".

The plural possessive of "kids" is "kids'," pronounced, "kidz".

Nuff said.

I need some Tylenol.

Happy grammaring--or some grammaring, at least,
