There is good news though...nothing like this ever happens when you become a grandparent!<BR/>RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29002351.post-72766544994162374682007-11-27T13:02:00.000-06:002007-11-27T13:02:00.000-06:00When David Bittle became a father Chris and I warn...When David Bittle became a father Chris and I warned him about his vocabulary. We told him one day his loving darling son would come up to him and say "F**K Daddy F**K". Now I don't know if that actually happened or not but I can share my own reality.<BR/><BR/>One day when Adam was about 3 he calls Alex a "Stupid Woman" in a terribly condescending tone. Being a good mother I demanded to know where he heard that. WHAT tv show am I going to banish? WHO could have taught him that. Well, Adam is a smart kid. He wouldn't give up where he got it from. Several months pass, I forget about the incident. Adam and I are pulling into the parking lot of the local post office. Adam calmly says "This is where the STUPID WOMAN was". It dawned on me. OH CRAP (yes I know more bad words) he got that from ME. I felt awful. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line, we use adult terms we shouldn't teach our children. However no matter how careful you are your child will hear them from somewhere. Which brings me to my friend's 9 year old who came home from school asking "Mommy what is a dyke bitch"?
